Overview

• Video doorbell footage shows hooded teenagers wielding knives and shovels as they try to break into homes in Toowoomba and Harristown late Friday night.
• The trio failed to enter any house but paused to photograph one property and demanded car keys at a nearby address.
• Authorities link the suspects to a stolen Kia Cerato (plate KORD43) and a torched ute in an escalating crime spree across Kingthorpe, Newtown and Kearneys Spring.
• Queensland Police are urging residents with information on the teenagers’ movements to come forward.
• Local residents are calling for tougher penalties and proposals such as public knife bans to strengthen community safety.
