Your personal safety is important – How you can help police?
Police are encouraging members of the community to be vigilant with personal safety measures after incidents of street robberies were recently reported to police.
Robbery offences are often opportunistic, with offenders selecting targets who are often unaware of their surroundings, distracted (listening to music, looking at mobile phones), or in a location that makes them a vulnerable target (poorly lit area, with little to no pedestrian or vehicle traffic).
Reported offences have indicated that offenders are targeting personal property items, such as mobile phones, wallets, bank cards and handbags.
Offences have been reported in the Sunnybank area.
In order to reduce the likelihood of becoming a target for a robbery, we offer the following strategies:
Be aware – stay alert to your surroundings. Take off your headphones, take your eyes off the screen and enjoy the view.
Plan ahead – pick a route that is well-lit and in populated areas. Travel with others and identify safe places
Be aware and be alert – secure your doors
In recent weeks thieves have been targeting units and houses that have been left insecure. Leaving doors unlocked provides the opportunity for offenders to enter your home even when you are there.
In particular unit complexes in the Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, Eight Mile Plains, and Macgregor areas have been targeted.
We need your help to stop these thieves from getting in:
Ensure garage doors are locked and secure
Ensure external access doors are locked particularly at night when you are asleep
Ensure internal access doors are locked and secure
Vehicles parked inside the garage should be locked and secure and keys locked away
Be aware that alarms and CCTV cameras are often excluded from these areas
