Police are appealing for public help to find two vehicles reported stolen in the Ipswich District on Tuesday 20 October.

The first is a green Kia Rio hatchback, registration 122OJ4, reported under occurrence number QP2602074665. The second is a silver Ford Kuga station wagon, registration 414MP2, reported under occurrence number QP2602075763.

Anyone who has seen either vehicle, or who has information that could help locate them, is urged to contact police. Callers should quote the relevant reference numbers: QP2602074665 and QP2602075763.

People with information can contact Policelink 24 hours a day through the online suspicious activity form on the Queensland Police website. Information can also be given anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or through the Crime Stoppers Queensland website.

Details of active stolen vehicle investigations from the past 28 days are available on the Queensland Police Service website.

Police also urged car owners to practise proper vehicle security. That means keeping vehicles locked and secured, and keeping valuables such as cash, electronics and handbags out of sight.

Residents are reminded to lock and secure their garage at all times, because vehicles, electrical equipment, trailers and ride-on mowers can be stolen even while people are at home. Police also asked people to secure their homes to help avoid opportunistic thefts, and to protect e-scooters and bicycles with chains and padlocks when they are not in use.
