Stolen vehicles

The Queensland Police Service seeks public assistance to identify stolen vehicles. Located vehicles should not be intercepted, and instead reported to Policelink (or Triple Zero in an emergency).

When should you call Triple Zero (000) to report a stolen vehicle?

• If you are witnessing a vehicle being stolen at the time
• If you are watching a stolen vehicle that has occupants in it, or
• If you are following the stolen vehicle.

When should you call Policelink (131 444) to report a stolen vehicle?

• If the crime is not happening now
• If it’s not life threatening
• If there is little likelihood of the suspected offenders being in the area
• If you find your vehicle has been stolen and have not witnessed this occurring (it happened some time ago), or
• If you have located a stolen vehicle abandoned on the side of the road.
