A 27-year-old Kingaroy man has been charged with a number of offences following a break-and-enter at a business on River Road on October 20.
Police allege two people entered the business and stole fuel from a vehicle along with a nail gun.
Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Dave Tierney, said that as police left the premises about 9:55pm, they observed a red Holden Commodore, registration 599-YKJ, which they believed may have been linked to their investigations.
“Police attempted to intercept the vehicle however it then accelerated rapidly away, causing police to activate their warning lights,” Snr Sergeant Tierney said.
“Police shortly discontinued their attempts to intercept due to the manner in which the vehicle was being driven.”
Through subsequent investigations, police visited a nearby storage shed where the 27-year-old Kingaroy man was located along with property alleged to have been stolen.
Police will allege a number of other offences had occurred at the business since August 1.
The man will appear in the Kingaroy Magistrates Court on November 5 charged with stealing, unlawful entry to a motor vehicle and four counts of break and enter.
