Queensland Police

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is the primary law enforcement agency for the state of Queensland, Australia. Recent news highlights their involvement in several significant incidents. They are currently investigating the death of a 19-year-old Canadian woman, Piper James, found on K'gari (Fraser Island). The autopsy suggests drowning and possible dingo bites, prompting further investigation. Simultaneously, QPS has charged seven men with over 300 offences related to an international crime syndicate allegedly stealing dozens of Toyotas from Brisbane, intending to ship them to the UAE. These vehicles were located in shipping containers across Brisbane and Melbourne. Furthermore, QPS is likely involved in the ongoing investigation of the Coral Adventurer cruise ship, which ran aground in Papua New Guinea after a previous incident where a passenger died after being left on a remote Australian island. These events underscore the QPS's broad responsibilities, ranging from local investigations to tackling international crime and potentially assisting in maritime incidents.
