POLICE BEAT
WITH SNR CONSTABLE PAUL CAMPBELL

EUDLO and Forest Glen residents are asked to report to police or Crimestoppers if they have any information on a silver F100 Ford utility with an aluminium tray believed to be involved in three break and enters.

The three break-ins were quite daring, with one carried out while a homeowner was away from his residence for only an hour. Three males who were seen driving the Ford could be linked to the robberies. A number of household items and power tools were stolen.

AS part of the current Traffic Branch Policing Initiative, and in relation with Palmwoods Police, 106 motorists were breath tested in Palmwoods on October 13. While a few drivers were told to walk home (near the minimum illegal blood alcohol level), there were no positive readings. They did stop four for speeding, two for failing to produce a licence, two for unlicenced driving and one unregistered driver.

UNFORTUNATELY there were two alcohol related traffic accidents in the district during the month, though nobody was injured. Motorists are again reminded to be aware that the traffic enforcement will continue.

A SUSPICIOUS person was reported to be selling tickets in the name of the Cancer Foundation. While authenticity of this person is uncertain, residents are advised to seek proof of identification from anyone selling tickets, and report anything unusual.

POLICE also featured in a safety day at the Palmwoods Riding for the Disabled grounds in early October. Members of all the emergency service groups, as well as the SES, a farm equipment expert and Giddy Goanna attended the event, organised to provide safety education for Palmwoods State School students.

YOUTHS accidentally broke a plate glass window at the Cut Price Store while larking about after leaving the hotel. Damage caused was $800. Anyone responsible for deliberately breaking property is liable for the cost of repair.
