Can you help police to identify the owner of a piece of jewellery found at a property in Nundah on Brisbane’s Northside?
The ring was discovered by the occupants of an address while cleaning a room under the house on Surrey Street, Nundah.
The owners of the home have lived at the address for decades and have no idea how the piece came to be where it was found.
Inquiries have been made by the occupants of the address as well as police with no results in identifying the owner.
If you know of someone who may live or has lived in the Nundah area in the last 40 years and could have lost this ring, please contact Boondall Police on 3364 3372.
Proof of ownership and identity will be required.

Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Financial and Cyber Crime Group have issued a warning to Queensland residents about a scam using a Queensland Police Service phone number to legitimise a government or Australian Taxation Office (ATO) impersonation scam.
In this instance the criminals are using a practice known as caller ID spoofing where they inappropriately manipulate the telephone network to indicate the incoming call is from a different number (in this case a QPS number).
The scam starts when the criminal calls the victim impersonating a government department. They advise the victim has an outstanding fine or fee with them (for example, the ATO). While this type of scam has been doing the rounds for some time, police are concerned this version of the scam has an additional layer which may result in more members of the community falling victim.
The second part of the scam involves the criminal calling the victim

Last month, the Public Safety Response Team (PSRT) conducted the second Mates in Blue program at the Queensland Police Service Academy in Brisbane.
The Mates in Blue program is a joint Queensland Government partnership initiative, initiated and developed by Acting Inspector Tony Del Vecchio and Regional Youth Support Coordinator Ms Vicki Ogilvie from the Queensland Department of Education.
The three-day program offered classroom lessons, group exercises, practical sessions and role playing, where all students participated at a high level with their mentors.
Mentors were assigned to each student for the entirety of the program to positively influence their thinking, actions and approaches to stressful situations without reverting to anger or violence.

Acting Inspector Del Vecchio said that the program has provided an excellent opportunity to work collectively and collaboratively with Youth Support Coordinators and to continue to build solid relationships with vulnerable young people through positive role modelling.
“The program is aimed to break down
