Police are on the hunt for a man following a crime spree across south west Queensland, where he reportedly stole a car from Moore, New South Wales.

The stolen silver Subaru Outback was located by police 470km from where it was stolen at the weekend.

A Queensland Police spokesman said the car was located on the Carnarvon Highway at Roma at 1.15pm Monday, July 19.

Shortly after the car was located, police responded to reports someone had broken into a car in Roma.

The spokesman said a vehicle on William Street was broken into, although initial reports suggested it was not stolen.

Anyone with information should phone Policelink on 131 000 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 000 333.
