****WANTED HOON****SEE THE VIDEO BELOW***
It's not in Ipswich, but close enough that someone may know who this hoon is.
Police have released dash-camera footage of a red Holden Commodore VP conducting a 'gender reveal' as part of the investigation into the dangerous operation of a vehicle at Marsden on Saturday (September 11, 2021).
At 11.24am, the vehicle conducted a ‘burn-out’ on Burrinjuck Street and then Timberlee Drive, creating excessive noise and blue smoke which obstructed the visibility of other motorists on the public roadway. There was a group of people gathered nearby taking photos and videos.
Police are now appealing to anyone who has information in relation to who was driving the vehicle at the time, to come forward.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink by providing information using the online suspicious activity form 24hrs per day at www.police.qld.gov.au/reporting.
