Man charged over serial caravan rebirthing offences

A 65-year-old Manly West man has been charged with 81 offences following a protracted caravan rebirthing investigation conducted by members of the State Crime Command’s Drug and Serious Crime Group.

On the buses, Dutton Park Police

Hi folks,
Well if you were in our area making use of the bus services last Friday, you most likely would have seen officers from Dutton Park Police conducting patrols of the bus services.
Our officers, lead by Acting Sergeant Vas Kalliegeros, covered trips to and from the Cultural Centre at South Brisbane through to Garden City and also out to Carindale Shopping Centre throughout the shift.
Overall it was a highly successful activity and the officers reported many positive comments from the travelling community and our bus drivers.
We are looking forward to more similar work in the near future.
Keep safe ☺
