Two Men Charged With 24 Property Crime Offences Across Brisbane - Brisbane, QLD
Smart summary
Two men have been charged following an investigation into alleged break-ins and vehicle thefts in Belmont and Carindale, with police linking the investigation to multiple property-related offences.
Two 19-year-old men have been charged with a total of 24 alleged property-related offences following an investigation into a series of incidents in Brisbane's eastern suburbs.
Queensland Police said the alleged offences occurred in the early hours of September 24 in Belmont and Carindale. Detectives from the Cleveland and Upper Mount Gravatt Criminal Investigation Branches investigated the incidents before arresting the two men.
At approximately 3:30 am, a group allegedly broke into a home on Highland Crescent in Belmont, stealing a Toyota Camry, a BYD Seal and several personal belongings. The group also allegedly attempted to enter a second home on the same street but did not gain entry.
During the alleged incident, occupants of the property were at home. Reports described a frightening confrontation, with intruders allegedly threatening residents while taking the vehicles and personal items.
At around 4:15 am, the group allegedly entered a home on Holborn Crescent in Carindale, where they were disturbed by a resident. One alleged offender struck the 20-year-old occupant's hand with a baseball bat before the group fled in a stolen BYD Seal. The resident sustained minor injuries and received medical treatment.
Following their investigation, police charged a 19-year-old man from Kingston and a 19-year-old man from Park Ridge. The charges include alleged armed robbery, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, attempted break-ins, threats and other property-related offences. The specific charges differ between the two accused.
Both men were refused police bail and remanded in custody following their court appearances. The Kingston man is due to reappear at Richlands Magistrates Court on November 20, while the Park Ridge man was scheduled to appear at Holland Park Magistrates Court on October 2.
Police have said investigations are ongoing. The charges are allegations, and both men are entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty in court.
The incidents have raised concerns about residential security and the risks faced by occupants during alleged home invasions. Police continue to encourage anyone with relevant information to contact Policelink or Crime Stoppers Queensland.
