Home Hill Break-Ins

With Home Hill Sergeant Sam Pyke

Between 1am at 5am 28 August 2025 a Toyota Rav 4 was stolen from a Twelfth Avenue address in Home Hill. At about 1pm the same day, local Police located the stolen vehicle in Ayr. An 18 year old male from Home Hill was arrested for various property offences and remanded in custody. A 15 year old and a 16 year old were also arrested and charged with various offences and granted bail to appear in the Ayr Children Court on a later date.

Since 28 August 2025 and 18 September 2025 there have been 5 break and enter offences reported to police in the Home Hill Police division. This is only a slight increase of property crime overall in the division against offences reported last year.. Police at Home Hill will continue to be committed to holding offenders to account and ensuring our community feels safe. We use every tool in our toolbox to ensure that crime is addressed quickly, investigated professionally and efficiently dealt with.

Having said that, there are steps you can take to better protect yourself and your property. Please secure your homes and be security aware. The majority of break and enters we attend are opportunistic. This means offenders pick easy targets - doors left unlocked, windows open. If you see something or someone that is suspicious, please report it to the Police. There is a lot of information that goes up on Facebook community groups that is never shared with the Police. There is often criticism about Police inaction attached to these posts regarding incidents we are completely unaware of.

We do not monitor these groups for various reasons. If we don’t know about it, we can’t do anything.

Please phone Policelink on 131 444 – This number is 24/7 – 365 days a year. This will ensure local police are aware and can attend to check a situation out.
