Armed robbery charge, Caboolture
Police have charged a man following an incident at Caboolture overnight where a group of men allegedly stormed a home and stole property.
It will be alleged around 9.30pm up to five men wearing motorcycle helmets used a fire extinguisher to break down the door of the Granger Street residence and went inside.
The occupants of the house, two women and three men, ran outside to the backyard while the men allegedly sprayed the interior of the home with the fire extinguisher and stole various property.
A male occupant of the house confronted one of the men as he was leaving who then allegedly threatened him and used a tyre iron to damage a vehicle parked on the lawn.
The group then fled the scene.
Police attended and the dog squad located a man a short time later in the vicinity allegedly in possession of some of the stolen property.
A 30-year-old Eastern Heights man has been charged with three counts of armed robbery in company, two counts of wilful damage and one counts each of going armed so as to cause fear and enter dwelling with intent.
