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.
The investigation relates to a number of caravans bought from various auctions, predominately in New South Wales, and transported to Queensland.  Detectives will allege these caravans had been statutorily written off for various reasons including hail, flood and impact damage prior to purchase which had subsequently rendered them unable to be registered in Australia.
Investigators will allege that once the caravans were brought to Queensland, the original identifying numbers were removed and new identification numbers placed on the vans. They were then advertised through online sale sites and purchased by unsuspecting members of the community.  Investigators will allege the man facilitated registration of the caravans in Queensland prior to purchase.

Commissioner Stewart said partner agencies had kept the Queensland Police Service (QPS) regularly updated throughout the ongoing counter-terrorism operation.
“We have all been concerned and disturbed at what our interstate and federal colleagues have uncovered in Sydney, but I want to stress that this thorough investigation has been confined to NSW and there is no connection to Queensland,” Commissioner Stewart said.
