Stolen vehicles across the district, including pizza delivery car
Despite a reported reduction in the number of car thefts across the region, several vehicles were stolen last week across Oakey and surrounds
A delivery car from the local Pizza Hut was stolen last Friday while its occupant was in the process of delivery a pizza.
The small white hatchback was found by police in Toowoomba on Sunday. Oakey store owner Brendan Scifleet says he believes his delivery girl was followed by the thieves, who waited until she was out of the car and her back was turned.
"It was probably a pre-planned thing", he said.
Elsewhere, a stolen vehicle which was reported missing from Oakey on Friday was found abandoned in Jondaryan on Sunday.
Police are still looking for those responsible for the theft of the vehicle, a 4WD MUX, and said public assistance would be appreciated.
Also in Jondaryan, a boy has been detained after stealing a tractor from a property and attempting to drive off with it. Predictably, he did not get very far before being arrested by police close by.
An adult male was also arrested for trespass in relation to the same incident, however, it's understood he wasn't aware of the theft of the tractor
