Qld-NSW border targeted again as multiple stolen vehicles found abandoned, engulfed in flames

After almost two months of calm and quiet on the Queensland-NSW border, fiery chaos has again reared its ugly head. Here’s what we know.

A number of vehicles allegedly stolen from both Queensland and NSW were found dumped in Boggabilla.

The Queensland-NSW border is again at the centre of unrelenting crime after a number of alleged stolen vehicles from either state were dumped and set on fire.

It was a weekend of terror in August which sparked Queensland police to deploy a specialised taskforce and pressured Premier Steven Miles to appoint a cross-border commissioner to tackle the crime wave.

The increased police presence resulted in a period of calm however it was shattered after multiple emergency service crews responded to the latest incidents.

It’s believed two vehicles were stolen from NSW, with one of the vehicles allegedly found pushed into the Macintyre River, while another two vehicles were stolen from near Goondiwindi, with one recovered and the other found burnt out on Wednesday morning.

A Queensland Police Service spokesman said police are investigating an armed robbery in Goondiwindi which occurred in the early hours of Wednesday and is in connection with two stolen vehicles.

It’s understood at around 1.30am a Porsche Cayenne which was towing a Porsche GTS 923, was parked at a service station on the Cunningham Highway when the driver was allegedly assaulted and threatened by two unknown men.

The QPS spokesman said the driver had sustained minor injuries and was taken to Goondiwindi Hospital by police.

It was only a matter of hours later when NSW police located the Porsche Cayenne burnt out in Toomelah, with the GTS 923 located on the Bruxner Highway between Toomelah and Boggabilla having sustained minor damage.

Boggabilla residents revealed to Stanthorpe Border Post this type of behaviour had vastly become the new normal, fearing for the future of their once infamous border town.

Queensland police urge anyone with information or relevant vision to contact Policelink on 131 444.

Investigations are ongoing.
