Are your vehicle keys and number plates secure?
Keys are the means to take your vehicle. Protect your property by not making them easily available.
Police are advising Inner West suburb residents that in the past couple of weeks thieves have been breaking and entering residential houses with the sole intention of stealing motor vehicles.

Have you lost money to a scam? Are you eligible for a refund?
The Financial and Cyber Crime Group is encouraging any Queenslander who may have been the victim of a scam or lost money through Western Union to take action by February 12.
