Warwick Police
TWO trucks have crashed at almost the same spot on the New England Highway at The Glen, just south of Warwick, in separate incidents.
On Wednesday, 8 January a truck towing a trailer loaded with gravel was travelling south towards Stanthorpe when the vehicle veered off the left hand side of the road into a ditch.
There were no injuries and police are continuing their investigation into the accident.
Two days later a semi-trailer travelling north crashed when the driver allegedly lost concentration as he attempted to pick up an object in the truck’s cab.
As a result, the semi-trailer veered off the highway and rolled at about 2.35am.
The 21-year-old driver from Glen Innes was issued with a Notice to Appear in Warwick Magistrates’ Court for driving without due care and attention.
Honest dope
EXPERTS say marijuana causes short term memory loss.
A Warwick man should have remembered the 350-plus marijuana seeds in his pocket before he went to the police to admit to another offence.
The 19-year-old went to the police station at about 3.15pm on Sunday, 12 January to admit his involvement in a property offence.
Police became suspicious while he was being charged with that offence and a search revealed the stash of marijuana seeds in his pocket.
He was arrested and further charged with possession of a dangerous drug as well as for the alleged property offence.
Drug offences
JUST after midnight on 9 January police intercepted a vehicle in Grafton Street, Warwick and a search revealed a drug utensil.
A 20-year-old Warwick man was issued with a Notice to Appear in court for possessing the alleged drug utensil.
WARWICK police also attended a Wood St address on Thursday, 9 January in an attempt to locate a person in regard to an outstanding warrant. They found a drug utensil at the premises. A 23-year-old Warwick male was issued with a Notice to Appear at a later date.
Wilful damage
A 20-YEAR-OLD Warwick man has been charged on two counts of wilful damage to his rental property after police were called to a disturbance at an Acacia Avenue address at 11pm on Saturday, 11 January.
