A 15-year-old boy has been charged after police allege a woman was threatened during an early-morning home break-in before another woman was confronted and her vehicle stolen in Redbank Plains.
Queensland Police have charged a 15-year-old boy following an alleged break-in and vehicle theft at Redbank Plains, west of Brisbane, in the early hours of Thursday, 1 October 2026.

The teenager has been charged with several offences, including unlawful use of a motor vehicle, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, trespass, wilful damage, common assault, stealing and possessing dangerous drugs. The allegations have not been tested in court.
He is scheduled to appear in Ipswich Children's Court on 2 October 2026.
Queensland Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged offences. Police have asked anyone who may have information relevant to the investigation to contact Policelink or provide information through the Queensland Police reporting system.
