 Police are appealing for assistance in relation to a break and enter that occurred last night at the Brookside Shopping Centre. At around three o'clock this morning the Shopping Centre was broken into by at least three offenders. They've gone directly to the Proud's jewellery store within the Shopping Centre. They've broken into Proud's jewellery store and stolen a significant quantity of jewellery consisting of gold and diamonds. We're appealing for anyone who may have any assistance that can assist us in solving the crime. I'm pretty certain there are going to be people out there within the community that are going to know our suspects and we appeal for them to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 triple three triple zero. Did it look like they knew what they were doing? Oh look, the break and enter was done very quickly. It's obviously that the jewellery store was the target of the break and enter. So yes, there was a certain degree of knowledge. How did they get into the Shopping Centre? Look, I won't go into the precise details but it's a clumsy. They've smashed their way into the Shopping Centre and smashed their way into the jewellery store. How much was stolen? I do but you know it's not our policy to release any sort of quantities of values. Significant to say though that it's a significant quantity of jewellery concerning volume. Did they get into a safe or anything like that? No, they've just broken into the store and they've taken what's been in display within the store itself. Did they smash the cabinets like the ones we've seen? Oh look, I won't go into it simply to say they've smashed their way in, grabbed what they wanted to grab very quickly and they've exited the store. Did they cover their faces? Look, their faces, they have disguised themselves. We will be releasing some footage in the hope that it may jog someone's memory but the video footage isn't of a high quality. We have to ask, has there been a few jewellery store breakings in the last 12 months? Is this linked to any of them? Look, at this stage it's too early for us to make any considered evaluation of whether these offences are linked. That's something we're looking into. There have been a number of other jewellery stores across South East Queensland involving similar types of method of operation. We'll be looking into that but at this stage we can't make any comparisons. What do they do? Is it likely that a lot of this stuff as far as jewellery goes will end up on eBay or anything like that? Or do they melt it down with tourist grants? I'd only be speculating and I don't wish to speculate. There's a number of ways in which they can get rid of jewellery and give name to all of them. Look, this took place very quickly. They were only in the store itself for a couple of minutes. Look, there's not much traffic around at 3 o'clock in the morning in that area, in the Brookside area and we asked if anyone noticed any sort of suspicious vehicles to contact police and no matter how small the information it's going to assist us. Is there any evidence they'd been into the store previously? At this stage it's too early. We're still in the process of examining previous behaviours and people going in and out of the store. Did it look like they had a target in the background? Did they just cling the shelves into a bag? Because it's happened very quickly, I have no doubt they knew what they were looking for and they knew where to go to get it.
