Two break-ins, same street
Police are investigating two burglaries in The Crescent, Sassafras.
Thieves broke into one home between noon on Wednesday 15 August and noon on Sunday 19 August.
After trying unsuccessfully to kick in the front door, they used a rear door to gain access.
Police said they tried to start a fire in the living room, and stole a hard drive.
At another property, someone forced open the window to a garden shed between Friday 10 and Thursday 16 August.
It’s unclear whether anything was stolen or if whoever opened the window gained entry to the shed.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
Firewood charges
Emerald police charged a man over removing firewood from Gembrook’s Kurth Kiln Regional Park.
Acting Sergeant Andrews reminded people that it was an offence to remove wood or vegetation from a regional or state park.
This case will result in a court appearance, and fines are another potential penalty.
