Man charged over 55 property offences
Police have charged a man with 55 property offences across Moreton Bay, Brisbane, and the Sunshine Coast.
It will be alleged that from mid-April until now, the 34-year-old Urangan man was involved in several incidents of vehicle theft, stealing from businesses, and break-ins across multiple suburbs, including North Lakes, Burpengary, Caboolture, Caloundra West, Redcliffe, Bald Hills, Strathpine, and Lawnton.
The man was arrested around 1.10pm on May 19 after being located at a service station near Deception Bay Road. He initially fled on foot but was taken into custody a short time later.
The 34-year-old has been charged with 53 offences, including:
12 counts of enter premises and commit indictable offence
9 counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle
5 counts each of fraud and receiving tainted goods
and several other offences.
Further investigations led police to execute a search warrant at a Burpengary East home on May 21. There, officers allegedly located and seized several drug items, along with stolen e-bikes, jewellery, and clothing linked to previous property offences.
As a result, police charged the man with two additional offences: one count each of attempted fraud and receiving tainted property. He has been remanded in custody.
Two other people were also arrested following the search.
A 35-year-old Burpengary East woman has been charged with:
two counts of possessing dangerous drugs
one count of receiving tainted property
one count of an offence relating to possession of medicines
A 42-year-old Burpengary East man has been charged with one count of receiving tainted property.
Investigators believe there may be additional unreported offences, especially within the North Brisbane, Moreton, and Sunshine Coast regions. Anyone who may have experienced property theft or break-ins during this time frame is urged to report it to police.
Investigations are ongoing.
