Enter with intent – Mount Cotton, Ormeau and Holmview

Police investigations are underway after two stolen vehicles from Carina were used during break-ins at three separate businesses at Mount Cotton, Ormeau and Holmview overnight.

The Pajero was used to force entry through the front glass doors of a supermarket while the Hyundai was used as a ‘lookout’ vehicle.

Around 1.30am, both vehicles attended a supermarket on Peachey Road at Ormeau, where the Pajero was used to force entry by reversing through the front glass doors.

Four men entered the business and stole a quantity of cash and cigarettes before fleeing in the vehicles, seen heading towards the Pacific Motorway.
