A Gympie magistrate has issued a number of arrest warrants under the Bail Act after several people failed to show up in court on Monday.
Gympie police will now be on the lookout for these people, though this does not mean the charges against them have been proven.
Arrest warrants were issued by Magistrate Bevan Hughes for the following Gympie region residents who failed to appear at Gympie Magistrates Court on July 21.
Zackery Blake
A Bail Act warrant was released for Zackery Blake’s arrest after the 21-year-old Gympie local failed to appear at Gympie Magistrates Court on Monday, July 21.
Mr Blake was charged with driving without a licence.
The magistrate said Mr Blake’s matter was transferred to Gympie court by request.
No plea has been entered or indicated.

Jasminum Veronica Maher
A Bail Act warrant was released for Jasminum Veronica Maher’s arrest after the 46-year-old woman also failed to show up at court on Monday.
