South Brisbane detectives are investigating the overnight break-in and theft of alcohol from a Yeronga bottle shop.
Around 2.10am on December 20 a stolen green Hyundai sedan carrying four males pulled up in front of the Fairfield Road business.
Three males exited the vehicle and smashed their way through the glass front doors using a large retaining wall block.
Once inside they stole a large quantity of alcohol before fleeing in the stolen vehicle.
This vehicle was sighted travelling south on Fairfield Road by police soon after and a pursuit commenced.
Police pursued the vehicle through Annerley and onto Logan before terminating the pursuit due to the dangerous driving of the vehicle and the danger this presented to other road users.
Police have released two CCTV still images of the vehicle taken from a neighbouring business.
Anyone who sights the vehicle – a green 1999 Hyundai Excel with Queensland registration 944-WLX, is asked not to approach it

Christmas comes early to Holland Park
It was wonderful to have Abbie Grace (5), Sophie (4) and their mother Casey from Tarragindi come to our station to deliver their handwritten Christmas cards.
Abbie Grace was excited that there were no ‘baddies’ in the station so that they could have a tour and snap a photo with the Officer in Charge Senior Sergeant Leonie Scott and Constable Hooper.
The cards are now proudly displayed in our station. Police thanked Abbie Grace for her very neat handwriting and Sophie for her drawing of what appears to be a Christmas spider.
We have a beautiful community in Holland Park Division and we wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas. Feel free to give our Officers a wave if you see them working on Christmas Day.

Crime prevention in Carina Police Division
As Christmas approaches and the holidays are in full swing, it is a timely reminder to us all to ensure that our property and family are protected at all times from unwanted visitors.
There is no exact definition for the type of person that burgles a house, however, there are often typical circumstances that occur prior to a home being burgled.
A burglar will usually act on easy or tempting opportunities, especially when it is evident no one is home, or the risk of being caught is low. This is particularly evident in sneak break and enter offences.
The Carina Police Division, which includes the suburbs of Carina, Camp Hill, Carindale and Carina Heights has experienced these property offences recently.
This includes break and enters, stealings and the armed robbery of the Camp Hill Hotel.
The main proliferation of these offences has been generally contained to the suburb of Camp Hill in and around Donald
