No words can express my anger right now. See the post below and also read the link provided by Qld Police

Bayside Criminal Investigation Branch detectives have charged a man following investigations into the alleged theft of a vehicle, containing Arnie the German Shepherd, from Wynnum on Saturday 8 November.

The owner of the vehicle has assisted police with these investigations, and it has now been established that a criminal offence of unlawful use of motor vehicle has not occurred.

Following extensive investigations, yesterday evening the 43-year-old male owner was charged with one count of breach of duty of care of animal by failing to provide under the Animal Protection Act.

Investigations remain ongoing.

Media and the public are thanked for their extensive assistance throughout the investigation.

A reminder for users to please read the new signs at the entrance to the two sections of the Dog Park. These signs (and the new fencing) have been provided by TRC for the benefit not only of our furkids, but also their owners.

Just like we have dogs of various sizes and levels of fitness, we also have owners with a range of age and fitness levels. By following the guidelines on the signs for each area, it offers dogs and their owners a safer place to visit. Thanks 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾🐾
