Extension built with stolen items, police claim

Police believe they have found an extension to an Ettalong house built substantially from items stolen from a nearby building site.

Brisbane Water Anti-theft Police claim the extension was poorly constructed, unapproved and appeared to contain many of the items listen as stolen from the building site.

Executing a search warrant at the property, a glass door, beams, cladding and wood were found.

Police said they did not remove all of the stolen items as that would have meant demolishing almost the entire rear extension.

During the search, police also located a small resealable bag containing a white crystal substance and a small amount of pressed multi coloured tablets in plastic resealable bags, suspected to be ecstasy.

The person of interest was not home at the time of the execution of the warrant and police spoke to him by phone.

Investigations are ongoing regarding the suspected drugs and criminal action will be taken by Future Court Attendance Notice for the stolen property.
