Police are seeking public assistance to help locate several vehicles that have been reported stolen and sighted across the Logan District in past days.

Registration Colour Vehicle type Stolen from
100TIJ Silver Holden Calais sedan Elanora
134SQU Silver Holden Captiva wagon Beaudesert
743WCX White Hyundai Accent hatchback Coolangatta
982WRB Grey Dodge Journey station wagon Slacks Creek
768ZVG White Hino Dutro truck Yeerongpilly

Located or sighted stolen vehicles should not be intercepted.

Senior Constable Lou Carey has said  most car thefts are opportunistic and there are several things you can do to reduce the risk of having your car stolen, such as:

  • Always keep your keys out of sight and never leave them lying around on tables, benches, bedside tables or key hooks in your home.
  • Always lock your vehicle, even when you are at home
  • When parking in your garage, ensure both the garage and vehicle are locked
  • Park your vehicle in a well-lit, highly visible area
  • Consider installing a car alarm to help protect your vehicle
  • Never hide spare keys in your vehicle
  • Always take your vehicle keys with you whenever you are going out, even if you are leaving your vehicle at home
  • Always lock your screens, doors and garages even when you are home. Sneak offences occur when people are home and vehicles can be stolen without your knowledge.

By adhering to the above, you can help to significantly reduce the risk of having your vehicle stolen.
