A sliding doors moment, Operation Wake Up
I was working a 9am to 5pm shift and my partner and I were out collecting CCTV vision when there was a call on the radio asking a crew to attend a traffic crash on Logan Road. A regular call on what would turn out to be a not so regular day.
This is my sliding doors moment.
The time was 1.40pm and we knew the next crew didn’t start until 2pm, and my partner and I had already discussed that we would cover any jobs during the changeover so we got on the radio and proceeded to the crash.
We had only just started driving when the job got upgraded from code 3 (driving at the speed limit) to code 2 (using lights and sirens) because the rider of the motorbike was injured and lying on the roadway, unable to move.. never a good sign.
I heard the afternoon crew call sign
Exercise caution when buying online
In the last few days South Brisbane police have had responded to incidents where unsuspecting sellers have become victims of robberies.
Sellers typically advertise an item for sale on online classified sites and then correspond in relation to the sale and purchase of these advertised items with the buyer.
During these conversations arrangements are made to view the items and negotiate purchase at an agreed location. Recently when sellers have met with the potential buyer the seller has become a victim of robbery.
These offenders have targeted electronic items such as laptops and smart phones and will attempt to dictate time and place of exchange.
They normally work in groups and will try to isolate the seller and are prepared to use physical force to illegally obtain the property from you. The profile pictures on the classified sites are most often not the persons who commit the offence and a story to dispel concern
Police charge man over romance scam
Police are issuing an urgent warning to the public following an investigation which has uncovered a disturbing development in romance and online scams.
Last night, the Queensland Police Service’s Financial and Cyber Crime Group charged a 32-year-old Durack man following an investigation sparked after a victim contacted police.
Operation Swift commenced following information received from a 34-year-old Brisbane woman who believed she had been dating an offender who had claimed to be a United States soldier.
It is alleged the victim befriended a man she believed to be a U.S Solider on a social media platform in October 2018. Over the course of the following months the victim was groomed into believing the stories provided by the criminal and formed an online romantic relationship.
The victim sent over $200,000 to the “U.S Soldier” via a series of transfers through a money transfer service.

Thieves target ‘bicycles’ in South Brisbane Multi-Level Complexes
In recent days multi-level living residents in South Brisbane have had a number of bicycles stolen from underground storage units located in basement parking storage cage areas.
Remember, it only takes a few seconds to steal a bike, so let’s work together to prevent, secure and identify your bicycle. In many cases owners never see their bicycles again simply because they cannot be identified.
Reduce the chances of theft by:
Ensuring storage cages are securely locked and secure;
Ensure bicycles themselves are locked and secure to something solid within the cage;
If possible securing your bike in a busy, well-lit location area where it can easily be seen and under CCTV surveillance; and
If possible, take off the front wheel and secure it to the frame or back wheel or take it up to your apartment.
Help make your bicycle easily identifiable:
When purchasing a new bicycle or your current bicycle, take a photograph, write down the serial number

Is your balcony door locked?
Police are urging residents to be vigilant with home security, especially balconies in homes and residential high rise buildings.
It is easy to become complacent with security on balconies. Living several floors up doesn’t give you added security, you still need to practice good security habits.
Some offenders will climb or scale tall buildings and obstacles to gain access to a balcony or residence.
Ensure that you key lock security doors and windows including balconies;
Remove items from around your yard or property. Offenders can use these to gain access to balconies;
Know your neighbours;
Report all unusual behaviour or suspicious persons.
Please review your home security but most importantly your security habits.
Remember that having a lock on your door will not keep you safe if you don’t actually lock it.
Ensure you have sufficient airflow at all times.
