Beware of Break and Enters

Police have advised that there has recently been a number of break and enter offences in our local area.

In at least one case a home was broken into, car keys taken and the resident's car stolen.

We are fortunate that we live in what is normally a low-crime area but these recent incidents are a timely reminder to review our home security. This includes such basic measures as always ensuring doors and windows are locked and making sure car keys are not left out in plain sight.

Should you have any information regarding these recent offences please contact the local police at Carseldine Police Station phone 3863 5111 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Sometimes even the smallest piece of information may lead to the arrest of an offender.

Protect your car - and watch where you put the keys.

Be careful to protect your car and its contents this holiday period.

Police have advised that there have been numerous reports of vehicles being stolen and or broken into and property removed from vehicles in a number of suburbs around our local area.

Whilst Chermside West is not specifically mentioned, be aware that thieves have so far targeted a number of nearby suburbs, including Stafford, Zillmere, Geebung, Aspley, Nundah and Wavell Heights.

It is easy to just drop the car keys on a nearby table when you arrive home, but it is important to hide them out of sight as police report that offenders are breaking into houses and then locating keys for the vehicles inside the house or even using keys that have been left inside the vehicles.

Police also report that there has been an increasing trend where offenders are prying open the garage doors to steal cars and property.

A number of victims have apparently left their vehicles unlocked and some with the car keys left inside the vehicle, allowing offenders to then easily remove personal property and steal their vehicle.

Victims have left valuable personal items such as wallets, handbags, GPS’s, computers, sunglasses, personal documents and cash in their vehicles, which are then stolen.

The majority of stolen vehicles are used for joy riding, transport, or for the use in another crime.

Police advice is to use off street parking if you have it. If possible, park behind locked gates or in a locked garage. Parking on the street greatly increases the risk of theft.

Remove temptation and always lock doors and close windows when your vehicle is unattended, even when its parked in a secured locked garage.

Consider using a steering wheel club or lock, an electronic engine immobiliser and car alarm.

If you must leave valuables in your motor vehicle keep them out of sight.

And don't leave your car keys where they can be easily taken if someone gains access to your home.

Christmas Road Safety Campaign Starts Today

Police Commissioner Ian Stewart joined emergency services representatives today to launch this year’s Queensland Police Service (QPS) Christmas Road Safety Campaign.

Commissioner Stewart said this year’s campaign would involve a highly visible police presence and a series of targeted traffic operations across the state.

“Sadly 40 people lost their lives while more than 2171 people were injured in traffic crashes during last year’s campaign,” Commissioner Stewart said.

“We know the devastating impact traffic crashes have across the community and we must do everything we can to reduce the trauma on our roads."

Police will be  particularly targeting the Fatal Five – speeding, drink and drug driving, distraction, fatigue and seat belts.

The Christmas Road Safety Campaign will be conducted over four phases, starting on December 8 and finishing on January 25.

FAST FACTS

• 226 people lost their lives on Queensland roads so far this year
• 1 in 5 road fatalities involved a speeding driver
• 1 in 4 road fatalities involved a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• 40 fatalities and 2171 people injured from traffic crashes during last year’s 50-day campaign
• 506 000 RBTs and 7842 drug tests were conducted during last year’s campaign
• $378 and three demerit points is the current first offence fine for using your mobile phone while operating a vehicle.
