Moped madness, Riverside
In the past five weeks, 26 motorcycles have been stolen in the Riverside Patrol area which covers Annerley, West End, Cannon Hill and all the suburbs in between.
Of those 26 motorcycles stolen 13 were located. For those that are good with math, that’s a 50% recovery rate. This sounds good until you realise that most of the bikes are damaged to a certain extent.
Of the 26 motorcycles 12 of the them are mopeds. Most of the motorcycles recovered are also mopeds suggesting mopeds are stolen from convenience more than anything else.
The ease at which they are stolen may be because people are less inclined to put a wheel lock or ignition lock thinking they are just a cheaper alternative.
Moped riders enjoy relatively low cost transport but factor in the cost of repairs after the mopeds are located and any savings you may have had are gone.

Behind the event: Police live up to their ‘reputation’ ensuring safety as Taylor Swift takes Gabba by storm
Overlooking the concert
Last night US superstar Taylor Swift performed in front of a 42,000+ strong crowd in one of the biggest concert events in Brisbane for 2018.
To ensure the enormous event was safe, a strong QPS presence was deployed to the venue to ensure patrons were able to enjoy the concert.
The police presence at the stadium required many months of planning with Sergeant Kirsten Atkin taking on the role of Principal Planner to ensure the operation took place smoothly and all the necessary resources were available.
Inspector Cecilia Vine was the Operations Commander for the event oversaw the deployment of 98 officers, including traffic personnel, to the Gabba grounds and was responsible for the entire QPS presence at the event.

Morningside Police are urging drivers to exchange details when involved in a traffic crash and if you hit a parked car, leave your details where the other driver can see them.
If our investigations reveal that you failed to provide your personal particulars at the scene of a crash, you can be issued a Traffic Infringement Notice under s93 Transport Operations
