A Slacks Creek man has been charged over a string of thefts – totalling more than $220,000 – throughout Logan and South Brisbane.
Police say the 21-year-old was allegedly linked to 14 property crime reports across the region, including the alleged theft of two cars.
“It will be alleged the man attended a home in Underwood on April 16 where he stole car keys and a Honda Accord,” police said in a statement.
“The man also allegedly attended a Lota home on April 17 where he stole car keys and a Volvo XC90.”
Police said officers executed a search warrant at Slacks Creek on Thursday 25 April, where they found “several alleged stolen property items and clothing”.
The next day, police arrested the 21-year-old Slacks Creek man at a Woodridge property.
The man was charged with eight counts of enter dwelling and commit, four counts of attempted enter dwelling with intent, and two counts each of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and receiving tainted property.
Police said they have since found the two allegedly stolen cars.
The Honda Accord was found abandoned at a shopping centre carpark in Springwood and the Volvo XC90 along Broadmore Street in Kenmore Hills.
