Crime alert: Unit block car parks and storage areas
Inner West Police wish to advise residents that there has recently been an increase in the number of incidents where thieves have gained unlawful access to secure car parks of unit complexes and apartment blocks in Inner West suburbs, particularly in the Indooroopilly area.
The thieves are generally entering the garage area by sneaking in through an open garage door.
Once inside, their intention is to steal property located within the storage areas or parked vehicles.
In some cases, the thieves have used physical force to break the padlock or have been simply able to enter the storage area or vehicle due to it being left unlocked.
Items being targeted include bicycles, jewellery, stereos, toys, tools, camping equipment, luggage, personal documentation and household items.
Police recommend the following garage and vehicle security tips:
Avoid storing excess belongings piled up in unsecured garage areas
Property located in storage cages should be hidden from view by using screening material

A sharp rise in the rate of speeding motorists on Queensland roads is continuing to cause concern for police with a 26 per cent increase in speed camera detection rates.

“It is very concerning how often our officers and speed camera systems are detecting exceptionally high speeds.
“The risks of speeding have not changed and the faster you go, the more consequence there is if you hit something or someone else.”
In the past five weeks, the overall rate of detection (per 1,000 vehicles monitored) for operating speed cameras increased by an average of 26 per cent.
