A slammed front door has foiled the attempt of wannabe thieves who were found rummaging through a Mackay resident’s car.
Mackay District Police Senior Constable Steve Smith said a Beaconsfield resident was woken by the noise between 2.30am and 2.35am on Thursday.
“The resident hopped out of bed to investigate and sighted multiple people searching the interior of their car that was parked in the driveway,” Sen-Constable Smith said.
“The thieves were then verbally challenged and ran towards a nearby parked gold small four cylinder car which they used to leave the area.”
