Police visit Samford Joey Scout Mob
Yesterday police from the Inner West Patrol Group were invited to spend an awesome fun-filled afternoon with the Samford Joey Scout Mob.
The Joey Scouts, whose ages range from six to 7-years-old, form an integral part of the Samford Scout Group who are proud to be one of the largest and most successful Scout Groups in Queensland with over 100 members.

These include self-reliance, confidence, mutual trust and understanding, a sense of community and fun. Scouts provide a safe but challenging environment for young people to develop new skills, which helps develop them into healthy individuals.
The visit by police contributed to the development of these young and up-coming members of our community. During the visit the Joeys had the opportunity to learn about being a police officer, the role police play in
Box trailer theft alert
Police from the Inner West Patrol Group are warning trailer owners to ensure their box trailers are appropriately secured, as thieves are currently targeting and stealing box trailers in the Indooroopilly area.
The targeted box trailers, were not appropriately secured at the time and were parked on the street at the time of their theft.
It would appear that the thieves simply hooked the trailers up to their respective vehicle and drove off with their newly acquired bounty.
Police are urging trailer owners to make it as hard as possible for these thieves to steal their trailers by securing the trailer with either; a hitch lock, wheel clamp, lock/chain, securing them behind a locked gate or placing them out of sight.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
