Have a Happy and Safe New Year – and don’t play with fireworks

Caseldine 6 NHW wishes all our residents a Happy and Safe New Year!

In particular, please do not be tempted to play with fireworks or any type of explosives this New Year’s Eve (or at any time for that matter). If you want to see fireworks, please attend a professionally organised event such as in the CBD.

Many local residents would have heard the sound of an explosion at about 7.50 am this morning (31 Dec). 

Media reports indicate that a man is likely to have a hand amputated after chemicals exploded at a Hamilton Road home in Chermside West where he was apparently trying to build a rocket based on YouTube videos.     

The victim was rushed to hospital with major hand and leg injuries, including a compound leg fracture and the possibility that his hand may need amputating as well as abrasive injuries to his chest and abdomen.

Fortunately, a young boy and an elderly man who were also in the home at the time were not seriously injured. 

From initial media reports it sounds like the consequences of this event could have been much more serious. 

As a Senior Operations Supervisor with Queensland Ambulance was quoted saying in a Courier Mail online article today:

“At this time of year it’s a pertinent warning, don’t be playing with chemicals, mixing chemicals, even just your household chemicals can cause significant injuries from explosion and detonation.”

This comes just one day after the state government warned Queenslanders about illegal fireworks.

Natural Resources Minister and Member for Stafford Dr Anthony Lynham said sticking to the organised and legal public fireworks display is the safest way to ensure your New Year’s Eve doesn’t end up being a night to forget.

Anyone caught illegally using or possessing fireworks can be prosecuted, with severe penalties up to a maximum $53,380 fine or six months imprisonment.

So please, enjoy your New Year’s Eve but stay safe doing so.

Attempted armed robbery - Chermside

Police are investigating the attempted robbery of a convenience store at Chermside last night.

Just before 9pm, a man armed with a knife entered the Gympie Road business and threatened the male employee.

The man jumped the counter before the staff member was able to lock himself in a back room.

The man has attempted to open the till without success and has left the store empty handed.

He is described as having a medium build, olive complexion, approximately 180cm tall, wearing a white cloth covering his head, a black long sleeve shirt with aqua horizontal stripes, long dark trousers and black joggers.

No one was injured during the incident.

Investigators are appealing for anyone with further information and for two customers who were in the store shortly before the incident, to contact police.

A video of the incident is available by clicking here.
 
 

If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.

Appeal: Puppy Stolen from Mitchelton

Police are appealing for urgent public assistance in order to reunite a newborn puppy with its mother after it was stolen during a break-in at Mitchelton on Sunday.

On March 3, unknown people entered a residence on Osbourne Road overnight and stole various household items as well as a male and female Maltese-Shitzu cross puppy (pictured below).

An investigation immediately commenced with police and the owners holding serious concerns for the welfare of the puppies which were only three weeks old.

One of the pups was recognised by a member of the public on Tuesday night with a person at a fish and chip shop in Virginia and reported it to police yesterday after the story was publicised.

Officers executed a search warrant at an address in Stafford where they located the male puppy (pictured left). The occupants were completely unaware the puppy had been stolen and were allegedly told by a man known to them it was 8 weeks old before he gave it to them.


 

The recovered puppy was reunited with its owners and immediately taken to the vet to be checked over.

Police still hold serious concerns for the remaining female puppy and its survival after being away from its mother for a number of days.

It is possible the pup has been given or sold to someone unaware of its origin or young age.

The Ferny Grove Property Crime Team is urging anyone with further information as to the whereabouts of the puppy to immediately contact police.

UPDATE - Investigation finalised - re report of Chermside West serious assault of teenage girl

Police have advised that they now finalised an investigation after a report of an assault in Chermside West on January 23.

They state that investigating officers have conducted a full and extensive investigation and have determined that no further police action is required.

 (Source : MyPolice blog post 30 Jan 19 @ 9.14 am)


Original Post - 24 Jan 19

Brisbane police are appealing for public assistance after a teenage girl was dragged into bushes and assaulted at Chermside West on Wednesday afternoon (23 Jan 19).

The 16-year-old was walking on the footpath in Kittabilla Street, near the intersection with Craigslea Street, at around 12.15pm when a man walked up beside her.

The man placed his hand over the girl’s mouth and pulled her into nearby bushes. The girl struggled, kicking the man and managing to break free from his grasp and run off.

The man was last seen running in Buran Street, Chermside West.

He is described as Caucasian, aged possibly in his late 20s to early 30s, approximately 185cms tall with a proportionate build and stubble on his face.

The man was wearing a black baseball cap, black framed sunglasses with orange reflector lenses, a white t-shirt and black baseball short.

 (Source: based on a number of posts on MyPolice Queensland Police News 23 Jan 19) 

NOTE: In view of police information that the investigation is now finalised and have determined that no further police action is required, the original post details have been edited to remove suspect description and comfit image and details of police appeal for further information. 

Further update - bus assaults - man arrested

Police have now charged a 39 year old Aspley man with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm following investigations into alleged assaults on Brisbane buses in December last year, including one on Maundrell Tce, Chermside West.

He is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on 2 February 2019.

Investigators continue to appeal for anyone who may have been a victim of random or unprovoked assaults in Brisbane by a man and who has not already spoken to police, to please contact them.

For further information regarding these alleged assaults please see our previous blog posts.
