Stealing charges, Broadbeach
Police have charged two men with stealing from a Broadbeach park fenced off for Commonwealth Games community celebrations.
On Sunday March 25, just before 4am it is alleged the two men entered tents set up at Kurrawa Park and stole approximately $1500 worth of property.
The alleged offenders were clearly captured on a series of CCTV cameras around the Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise areas which led investigators to the men.
Two 18-year-old German tourists were both charged with one count each of stealing. They are due to appear in the Southport magistrates Court today.
Police wish to remind the community that the interference with or theft of property from temporary structures set-up around the Gold Coast in preparation for the Commonwealth Games and associated celebrations is a criminal offence. Any such offences will be investigated and the offenders prosecuted.
