Break enter and steal from shed at St Bernard Street

Between the 19^th and 24^th August offenders have gained entry to a farm shed and stolen a yellow quad bike and helmet from within.  

The quad bike appears to have been ridden to a side gate and loaded on to a vehicle or driven off.  The bike has a piece of the right hand side front mud guard missing in front of the foot platform.

Break and enter of shed at Jourdana Drive

Between the 3^rd and 4^th September offenders have broken into a shed and stolen a large quantity of builders’ tools:  The victim stated the tools are valued between $12000 and $15000. Most of the tools and boxes have DMC written on them in black nikko pen.

Bag grab 30th August!!

Now this one really annoys me!!!  It is alleged a male person on a bike too small for him (as described by the victim) it seems has ridden past and snatched a tourist’s backpack containing an SLR camera, camcorder and assorted property on Main Western Road around 1.30pm on Friday afternoon in broad daylight!  

The victim was walking and taking pictures with another camera on Main Western Rd between the hang glider and Rotary lookouts when the offender struck!   Victim had to walk back to his car and then drove around searching but could not find the offender who  was last seen peddling southbound on Main Western Road.  We’ve never had this happen on the Mountain before!?

ARSON of Bali Hut at Tamborine Mountain Gardens!

Last, and certainly another shocker, is the morons that set fire to the grass thatched roof of the Bali hut at the Botanical Gardens in Forsythia Drive over night of 3^rd September .  Hopefully one of those that witnessed the event will brag about it and we can tie it up quickly as we don’t want a pyromaniac running amok amongst us!

ANYONE WITH INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ABOVE PLEASE CONTACT US URGENTLY SO THAT THE OFFENDERS CAN BE STOCKED IN THE TOWN SQUARE….hang on wrong century….. I take that back…. LOCATED AND DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY! 

If you don’t wish to tell us personally, slip a note under the door or please call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000!  Get out there good people and help us solve the above…it would be great to report next time on some clear ups and offenders publicly shamed!

LOST WALKER (mobility assistance frame/seat)

Is anyone missing their walk assistance trolley?  Green in colour and in fair condition we have had one handed in from the community centre.  We would dearly love to return this assistance device to the owner.

Stay safe!
