Townsville police have swooped in to capture a group of car thieves who are alleged to have dumped a vehicle in Kirwan on Monday morning after stealing it from Innisfail.

Just before 8am, the POLAIR helicopter was seen by residents hovering over the Kirwan area before reports were made to Queensland Police about a vehicle being dumped in Greenwood Estate’s Cavill Ave at about 8.15am, with four suspects on the run.
