In the previous 12 month period well over 100 trailers have been stolen in the South Brisbane District from both business premises and residential properties. The majority of these thefts have occurred in the Moorooka and Upper Mount Gravatt areas.  Although all trailer types have been targeted, more recently, unsecure domestic box trailers parked on roads or in residential properties have been taken.
Trailer security measures provide the best criminal deterrent and include:

Installation of a wheel locking device
Installation of a locking device over the ball connection of the trailer
Where possible secure the trailer away behind locked gates

Unit residents in the Sunnybank area are being urged to check that their garage doors are down and properly locked and secured.  Over the past two weeks thieves are targeting unit complexes and forcing garage doors to access unlocked vehicles and gain entry to units.

Internal doors are also being left unlocked or not fitted with adequate locks allowing thieves easy access to their units.
