North Brisbane Police have seen a recent increase in the number of thieves who are targeting motorcycles with no additional security devices and other vehicles with property in clear view.
We are seeking your assistance in ensuring that your motorcycle or motor vehicle is secured at all times and offer you the following crime prevention tips:
Motorcycles:
-Use an ignition or steering lock in combination with other security devices (disc lock)
-Secure your motorcycle to a solid fixed point with a strong thick chain and lock (keep the chain off the ground to make it harder to cut)
-Install an alarm or other anti-theft/immobiliser device such as a disc lock brake
-Park in well-lit areas
-Keep your keys on you at all times
-Use microdot technology on all parts of your motorcycle for identification.
Other vehicles:
-Always lock your car, including the boot
-REMOVE all valuables from sight (loose change, electronic devices, sunglasses, wallets/purses, GPS etc)
-Install an electronic engine immobiliser and car alarm
-Keep your vehicle keys with you
-If you garage your vehicle at home, ensure the garage and vehicle are locked

Rainfall is excellent for our gardens, but heavy downpours can quickly cause potholes of all shapes and sizes to appear on our road network.
Council have six teams, known as flying gangs, that travel more than 5700 kilometres of our road network to look for and repair potholes, which is an equivalent distance between Brisbane and Broome.
In addition to these proactive patrols, it’s critical that the community help by letting us know when these hazards open up, so we can quickly fix them. It’s as easy as texting the location of a pothole to 0429 2 FIX IT (0429 234 948) or by calling Council’s contact centre on 3403 8888. Jobs can also be logged via Council’s website. This ensures we can find and fill potholes and with more wet weather on the way resident reporting is more important than ever.
