More than 100 people have been charged with 191 offences during the first month of Operation Yankee Forge in Central Queensland.
The high-visibility statewide operation launched on February 27, with the aim of cracking down on unlawful use of motor vehicles, robbery, and unlawful entry.
Throughout the district, 61 adults have been charged with 103 offences, and 40 juveniles charged with 88 offences.
To date, five people have been charged with robbery, 60 charged with unlawful entry, and 59 charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Capricornia District Superintendent Mark Burgess said officers will continue to disrupt property offending and hold offenders to account.
“We want the community to know we are committed to taking continued action against property offending across the district and to keeping our communities safe,” said Superintendent Burgess.
“Our focus throughout the Capricornia District will combine high-visibility local policing with specialist and investigative capabilities, including deployments from the State Flying Squad, to target those causing the most harm.”
“As part of ongoing operations, we will also continue our focus on targeting antisocial behaviour within our public spaces, particularly our CBDs and shopping centres, to ensure everyone can enjoy these areas.”
