T.J. Byrnes

Death at Queen Mary Falls

This is the second death recorded at the site this year, after a non-suspicious death was reported in January.

Rural Fire Service break-in

According to a police spokesperson, a 21-year-old Warwick man was charged with enter premises and commit indictable offence after a storage shed used by the Rural Fire Service was broken into with multiple items of property stolen between 20 and 27 April.

Equipment was reportedly stolen from the Sandy Creek Road shed in Allan, belonging to the Leslie Rural Fire Brigade.

T.J. Byrnes’ new sign

Warwick’s iconic Palmerin Street statue of T.J. Byrnes has a new sign saying, ‘smile you’re on camera’.

It is unclear whether the sign has been placed there by local authorities or by another prankster wishing to adorn the monument.

Allora Wattles

The charges against two peopel who allegedly stole approximately $30,000 from the Wattles Warriors Rugby League Club have been dropped.

The couple’s court hearing at Warwick Magistrates Court on Friday resulted in police prosecution having no further evidence that the couple committed the offence.

They each faced one count of stealing – they allegedly took the funds as Wattle Club workers during the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
