Police are on the hunt for brazen thieves who smashed a stolen car into a Toowoomba business in the early hours of Anzac Day, before torching it.
While the Darling Downs community came together to honour service men and women on Tuesday, April 24, the owner of United Fuels at Cambooya, was left to repair significant damage to the shopfront.
The thieves picked through rubble and glass, stealing several items, after prying an ATM from a wall.
A Queensland Police spokeswoman said the Toyota Land Cruiser used in the ram raid was stolen from a Redwood property sometime between April 6 – 19 days before it ploughed through the shopfront.
Police located the ute, which was completely destroyed by fire, at Yarranlea on April 25, which was about 60km west of where it was stolen from.
The spokeswoman said police were searching for those involved, and urged anyone with information to come forward.
Investigators ask anyone with information or dashcam footage taken along the New England Highway about midnight to phone Policelink on 131 444.
