Offenders have struck early in 2018 hitting Eight Mile Plains hard, breaking into homes and stealing property and motor vehicles.  These offences have occurred mainly in the vicinity of Warrigal Road and Underwood Road and stolen vehicles have then been used to commit further offences throughout the South Brisbane District.
Offenders are targeting insecure dwellings and vehicles and in some cases have disabled home security systems by disconnecting power sources. It remains all to common that reports are being made to police of offenders entering dwellings in which a front or rear door, window or garage was left open or insecure.

Lock and secure all external and internal doors and windows when leaving the house
Place vehicle
