Police from the Inner West Patrol Group are warning vehicle owners/ drivers that within the past four days, thieves have targeted numerous vehicles in following Inner West locations (predominantly in The Gap area):
Steal from motor vehicles:
The Gap: Eranga Street, Wessex Lane, Michaela Crescent, Exeter Street, Hibiscus Avenue, Elimatta Street and Malgoa Street;
St Lucia: Sixth Avenue;
Ferny Hills: Dena Street;
Toowong: Golding Street;
Mitchelton: Andover Street;
Bardon: Jubilee Terrace; and
Indooroopilly: Railway Avenue.
The targeted vehicles had either been stolen or physically broken into both during the day and night.
The targeted locations have mainly been vehicles parked in residential driveways or on residential streets.
Sadly, half of the vehicles broken into had valuable items in full view and/or which had been left unlocked (eight in total) at the time of the offence.
These factors have made it much easier for thieves to help themselves at the expense of the vehicles owner or driver.
Property stolen have included cash/ coins, wallets/ purses, computer
