Police are reminding car owners to practise proper vehicle security, making sure vehicles are locked and secured and that valuables such as cash, electronics and handbags are kept out of sight. Garages should be locked and secured at all times, because vehicles, electrical equipment, trailers and ride-on mowers can be stolen even while people are at home. Residents are also urged to secure their homes to help avoid opportunistic thefts.

Police also advise securing e-scooters and bicycles with chains and padlocks when they are not in use, to help deter opportunistic thieves.

People with information can contact Policelink 24 hours a day by using the online suspicious activity form on the Queensland Police Service reporting page. Information can also be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or through the Crime Stoppers Queensland website. Policelink can also be reached on 131 444.
