September 10, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police have set up a taskforce in a bid to prevent, disrupt and investigate suspicious fires across Queensland.<\/p>\n

Taskforce Overcross will include investigative, intelligence and other specialist resources as required.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Katarina Carroll said as part of the task force, the QPS State Crime Command would co-ordinate all investigations into suspicious fires around the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaskforce Overcross will be proactive in working to prevent deliberately or recklessly lit fires,” Commissioner Carroll said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the fires could be down to carelessness or a misunderstanding of conditions.<\/p>\n

“However, it appears other fires have been deliberately lit with the intention of causing damage or worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cArson is a very serious offence that can lead to life imprisonment and police will be relentless in investigating any suspicious fires.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community is asked to work with authorities to prevent fires. In these dangerous conditions please do not use equipment which could risk sparking a fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who either inadvertently or deliberately starts a fire is putting life and property at significant risk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
