Murgon police are investigating two more more break-and-enters and vehicle thefts in the local area this week.
Between 8:00pm on Tuesday and 2:00am on Wednesday, thieves broke into a home in Kent Street, Wondai, stole a set of keys and then drove off in a car that was parked in the garage.
Police believe the same group returned a short time later and tried to steal another vehicle, but were unsuccessful.
Police are seeking public assistance to locate the stolen car, a white 2013 Toyota Corolla hatchback (registration 821-KO9).

Between 1:30am and 2:00am on October 9, thieves entered a house in South Street, Wondai, via the garage and stole keys.
An occupant, disturbed by the offenders when the offenders entered a downstairs room, gave chase but the thieves rushed back out through the garage and used the stolen keys to drive off in a vehicle parked in the driveway.
The stolen vehicle has since been located.
The latest incidents follow the theft of two vehicles earlier this week in Murgon.
