Gympie police seek information into burglary, hit and run

Pictures have been released and dashcam is being sought after two major crimes in the Gympie region. Here’s who and what police are looking for.

Gympie region police are appealing for public information into a car crash on the Southside and a burglary at Rainbow Beach.

At about 11am on Saturday, November 27, a blue Toyota Corolla Ascent driving in an easterly direction on Exhibition Road, Southside was rear-ended by a silver Toyota dual cab utility.

The ute did not attempt to brake, did not stop to exchange details and left the scene, police say.

They are investigating the matter and are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the traffic crash or have any dashcam vision around that time, to contact Policelink and quote QP2102210866.

At about 6pm on Friday, October 29, police say two women damaged and removed an unsecured toilet window and climbed into a home on Cooloola Drive at Rainbow Beach.

Once inside, one of the women opened the doors to the garage and went in, while the other unknown woman went to the kitchen and dining room.

Both then later left the house via the front door after the home occupant received a security alert and triggered an alarm.

Gympie region police believe these two women may be able to help with their inquiries into a burglary at Rainbow Beach.

The first woman is described as caucasian, slim build, early 20s with below shoulder length light coloured hair. Her left arm has a distinctive tattoo extending to the left shoulder blade, and further tattoos on the inside of her right arm, left thigh and upper left shoulder blade.
