Use of unmarked mobile speed cameras in Queensland
There has been some commentary surrounding the use of unmarked mobile speed cameras in Queensland today.
The use of unmarked mobile speed cameras is just one of a suite of measures employed by the Queensland Police Service (QPS) aimed at reducing the state’s road toll.
There are 18 unmarked mobile speed camera vehicles in use across Queensland.
During the 2016-17 financial year there were 106,741 notices issued by unmarked mobile speed cameras in Queensland and 163,176 notices issued by marked mobile speed cameras.
The QPS has no plan to phase out the use of unmarked mobile speed cameras.
Recent research (Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) – Cameron) has determined that the mixed use of both covert and overt mobile speed cameras would produce the best road safety outcomes due to the strong effect that covert cameras have on fatality crashes (as their unknown nature suppresses vehicle speeds across the network thus reducing crash severity)
Thieves target trail bikes in the Inner West
Police are advising motorcycle owners and riders that within the last week a number of trail bikes have been the target of thieves in the Inner West suburbs of Mitchelton and Gaythorne.
At the time of being targeted, the trail bikes were either parked in a residential basement car parks, attached to vehicles, or parked on suburban streets.
The modus operandi of these thieves have been to either enter an address through an insecure access point or attempt to remove the motorcycle from a vehicle, then simply ride or push the motorcycle away from the occurrence location.
Inner West police would like to remind owners and riders to be vigilant with security and recommend the following tips to protect your pride and joy:
Record the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and engine number, particularly if the motorcycle is unregistered or for off-road/road racing.
Ensure that access points at residential addresses (including garages) are locked at all

Update 2: Evade police, Maryborough
Police searching for two men involved in a number of incidents yesterday afternoon in Brisbane and Maryborough have released images of two men who may be able to assist investigators with their enquires.
After a series of incidents starting in Sunnybank around midday yesterday the men were last night involved in the stealing of a white Mazda 6 sedan from an address on Waterview Drive in Dundowran Beach around 6:15pm.
The same Mazda 6, with Queensland registration 747-TPY, was involved in a petrol drive-off at a service station on Bligh Street in Kilkivan at around 6:30am this morning.
The two men are described as being in their late teens with short dark hair.
It is believed the two men were travelling south and have since returned to the greater Brisbane area.
Police are urging the public not to approach the two men, but to contact police on Triple Zero (000).
