Don’t give thieves a chance to slip into your home as the weather warms up
It’s that time of year again, temperatures are rising, windows are flung open, doors left ajar and kids are constantly running in and out of the house to the backyard and pool.
Summer months, while a pleasure for most of us, often offer unique opportunities to thieves to sneakily enter your home.
Those windows that are left open to catch a cool breeze while you zip to the shops may be just too tempting to a thief walking past.
What about the sounds of a party in the backyard and the garage door at the front left wide open? Once again, the temptation may be too much.
Please remember to practice good, sensible home security measures around your home, all year round.
Police remind you to consider the following regarding your home security:
If windows are not fitted with a security screen, they should be shut when you go out, even if they are on the

Police operation to crack down on fake registration plates
A police road safety operation focusing on motorists with fake registration plates and unregistered vehicles has launched across Queensland today.
The three-month operation code named Operation Quebec Yield will also involve officers targeting drivers for red light, mobile phone and seat belt offences.

“We know those with false number plates are more likely to commit traffic offences and other criminal offences which puts our community at risk,” Superintendent Johnson said.
“Police use registration plates to trace stolen vehicles and vehicles involved in crime and life-endangering traffic offences such as disobeying red lights and speeding.”
