Residents across Wavell Heights may have seen police activity increase in recent days, with one investigation leading to drug-related charges and another focusing on a string of alleged vehicle offences across several streets.
The separate investigations unfolded within a week of each other and involved locations across the suburb, from Pfingst Road to Frankit Street, Calga Street and Vaucluse Street.
Resident Reports Lead to Search Warrant on Pfingst Road
According to the Queensland Police Service, information provided by local residents and Crime Stoppers helped direct attention to alleged drug activity in the Wavell Heights area.
Police executed a search warrant at a Pfingst Road property on June 1 after receiving multiple reports and gathering intelligence. During the search, officers allegedly located cash along with dangerous drugs, including cocaine and methylamphetamine.
A 57-year-old Wavell Heights man was subsequently charged with a number of offences, including supplying dangerous drugs, possessing dangerous drugs and possessing property suspected of being linked to drug offences.
The man was scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 8. The charges remain allegations before the court.
Vehicle Offences Reported Across Several Wavell Heights Streets
While the drug investigation was unfolding, police were also investigating a series of alleged thefts from vehicles reported over the weekend of June 6 and 7.
The incidents occurred at different locations throughout Wavell Heights, affecting residents in Nind Street, Frankit Street, Calga Street and Vaucluse Street.
Police allege a black Volkswagen T-Cross parked at a home in Nind Street was entered overnight, while a white Volkswagen Tiguan parked at a residence in Frankit Street was also targeted. In both cases, the vehicles’ rear reverse-camera handles were allegedly removed.
A red Mazda CX-5 parked in Calga Street was allegedly entered and a garage remote taken, while a silver Haval Jolion parked in Vaucluse Street was reportedly entered and property and cash stolen.
Stolen Kia Sighted Near Multiple Investigation Sites
Investigators are also seeking information about a grey Kia Sportage reported stolen from Albion on the morning of June 7.
Police said the vehicle was sighted in Frankit Street around the time one of the alleged offences occurred and was later seen in Calga Street, where another vehicle was allegedly entered.
The Kia remains outstanding and police are continuing inquiries into whether it may be connected to multiple incidents under investigation.
Police Urge Residents to Remain Vigilant
As inquiries continue, police are encouraging residents to take steps to reduce opportunities for vehicle theft and break-ins.
Queensland Police advise motorists to lock vehicles, secure valuables out of sight and use garages or off-street parking where possible. Residents are also encouraged to report suspicious activity through Policelink or Crime Stoppers.
