Nanango man, 52, charged with trespass after hiding phone under nearby family home

The man will face court after allegedly trespassing on a Nanango backyard to hide his phone. See the concerning reason he gave police.

A Nanango man will front court next month after jumping the fence to a neighbours’ backyard and hiding his phone under their house.

Between midnight and 9am on October 2, the 52-year-old entered the Gipps Street yard and stowed his phone away under the house.

Police were called when he returned in the morning to fetch it.

The Nanango resident told officers he hid the phone out of fear it was being “tracked” by someone.

He’s due to appear in Nanango Magistrates Court on November 11.
