Residents in Rocklea are on high alert after a local man, Leon Perkin, shared chilling CCTV footage of a potential break-in attempt at his home.
The images, posted on a community Facebook page, show a person with their head covered, holding what Mr Perkin believes to be a firearm, attempting to gain entry into his property in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Mr Perkin reported that the incident occurred around 3:45 a.m., with two individuals seen in the vicinity of Marshall Rd and Freney St. His security system alerted him to their presence, and he used floodlights to scare them off. The individuals then reportedly fled towards Kookaburra Park.
While Mr Perkin stated that he had informed the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and provided them with the footage, a police spokesperson indicated no formal complaint had been lodged.
The spokesperson also mentioned that while the footage showed the individuals holding an object, there wasn’t enough evidence to confirm it was a firearm.
This incident has sparked concern amongst Rocklea residents, highlighting the importance of home security and community vigilance.
