Queenslanders are being terrorized by break-ins and home invasions.

In the quiet and peaceful Brisbane suburb of Pallara, residents have been living in fear as intruders target their homes. The situation has become so dire that some people are taking extreme measures, like barricading themselves inside their houses, to protect themselves from these criminals.

One disturbing incident caught on camera shows a group of intruders breaking into a home and claiming they have a search warrant, causing terror among the occupants. This brazen home invasion occurred in broad daylight in the outer southern area of Brisbane, leaving residents shaken and on edge.

Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. It is just the latest in a string of youth crimes that have been plaguing the neighborhood. The Queensland Police believe that the same two criminals responsible for this break-in were also involved in several other burglaries that day.

According to police data, there has been a noticeable increase in the rates of unlawful entry, car theft, trespassing, and robbery in Pallara. This worrying trend has left residents feeling vulnerable and afraid for their safety. In fact, a recent video released by the police shows a man armed with a shotgun robbing a nearby business in Forest Lake.

In response to these alarming events, the community has come together to form a crime watch group. With 500 members, they conduct nightly patrols in an effort to protect their neighborhood. However, despite their efforts, many residents still feel like they are on their own and lack proper protection from the authorities.

One resident, Tejinder Singh, shared his harrowing experience of being the target of an attempted break-in and being threatened with a knife when the criminals couldn't gain entry into his home. The constant fear and stress have taken a toll on his mental health, causing him to lose sleep and neglect his work. He also worries about the impact it has on his young son, who is confused and scared by the events happening around him.

Another resident, Vika Vaka, had her home broken into while she was dropping her children off at school. She, along with others too distressed to speak on camera, expressed their fear of being targeted again. Some have even resorted to using wooden planks to secure their front doors, desperate to prevent any future break-ins.

As the community grapples with this ongoing issue, there are hopes that measures will be put in place to improve safety and security in the neighborhood. Until then, residents remain on high alert and continue to take precautions to protect themselves and their homes.
