Police have charged a 37-year-old woman following a protracted investigation into a series of property crime offences in Tara earlier this year.
On 1 July detectives from Dalby Criminal Investigation Branch and Child Protection Investigation Unit with assistance from the South West District Tactical Crime Squad and Tara Police Station executed a search warrant at a Golden Glow Road address.
During the search police allegedly located a stolen bobcat, front-end loader with backhoe attachment, trailer, large generator, tractor, stump grinder, sprint car and a gazebo along with approximately one kilogram of cannabis.
It is alleged the items were stolen from several rural properties in the Tara area between April and June this year.
A 37-year-old Tara woman has been charged with four counts of stealing, three counts of unlawful possession of a motor vehicle, and one count of possessing dangerous drugs.
She is due to appear before the Chinchilla Magistrates Court on 9 July.
Detectives are appealing for anyone with relevant information that may assist with their investigations to contact police.
Investigations remain ongoing.
Operation Yankee Forge is a six-month, district-led, statewide initiative targeting high-harm and high-volume offences, including unlawful use of motor vehicles, unlawful entry and robbery.
The operation will enhance policing activities across Queensland to reduce victim numbers and strengthen community safety.
Police regions, supported by specialist squads, will undertake coordinated disruption activities across the state. Police will target high-harm offenders and work closely with partner agencies to ensure offenders are held accountable. With a strong focus on crime prevention, police will be highly visible as they prevent, disrupt and investigate offending, with particular emphasis on unlawful use, robbery and unlawful entry.
The operation will be locally led and centrally coordinated, leveraging the knowledge and experience of officers who know their communities best.
