Following the recent attempted break in at the Rainforest Inn there has been a reported case of squatters taking over one of the residences along Mt Spec Road. They apparently found the key to the property that was hidden in a “safe” place. The unauthorised “visitors” helped themselves to some of the alcohol, left a mess and caused some water damage when they left a tap running.
This is just another reminder that our village is not immune from these kinds of criminal acts of wilful damage and vandalism. All property owners should reconsider and upgrade their security precautions and keep a watchful eye out for suspicious activity in our community.
A reminder of some important contact numbers:-
Police Link (non-life threatening issues) – 131 444
Rollingstone Police – 4770 7144

That is such sad news and a sign of the times. Our beautiful Paluma, protected by our isolation, or so we thought, now violated. We are as vulnerable to intrusions as any suburban location. But this has happened before in Paluma: let’s hope it is a long time before it occurs again.
