Crime
There continues to be a series of incidents related to the theft of scrap metal and copper cabling from Telstra pits and dwellings under construction throughout the Rosewood area.
Police are asking members of the community to report any suspicious vehicles parked on remote roadside locations and anyone acting suspiciously near these locations.
Buggy stolen
During the early hours of June 30, police received a report of a golf buggy being stolen from a Rosewood address.
The offenders were alleged to have then driven the golf buggy to various locations in the Rosewood CBD in a dangerous manner prior to crashing into a parked vehicle on John Street Rosewood.
Two juvenile males sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result and were transported to the Ipswich General Hospital for treatment.
The juvenile males from Leichhardt and Brassall will be dealt with in accordance with the Youth Justice Act.
Kokoda – On the right track
Dion and the Kokoda Team set-off at midday on Saturday July 13 to conquer the gruelling 48klm Kokoda Challenge on the Gold Coast.
The course consists of 48km of steep mountainous terrain throughout the Gold Coast hinterland. The team hike continuously through the night with a total vertical elevation of 2km and emerged at approx. 5.30am on Sunday morning.
The Rosewood Kokoda Kids were sore and tired at the conclusion but learned the valuable lessons of resilience, leadership and teamwork.
Now the Kokoda Kids will commence the Community Service portion of the program as a way to give- back to the Rosewood community who have supported them throughout the program. Keep an eye out for the ‘Red shirts’ who will be in the community over the next few months.
