Capricornia District Superintendent Mark Burgess said officers will continue to disrupt property offending and hold offenders to account.
"We want the community to know we are committed to taking continued action against property offending across the district and to keeping our communities safe," said Superintendent Burgess.
"Our focus throughout the Capricornia District will combine high-visibility local policing with specialist and investigative capabilities, including deployments from the State Flying Squad, to target those causing the most harm."
"As part of ongoing operations, we will also continue our focus on targeting antisocial behaviour within our public spaces, particularly our CBDs and shopping centres, to ensure everyone can enjoy these areas."
Operation Yankee Forge is a six-month, district-led, statewide initiative targeting high-harm and high-volume offences, including unlawful use of motor vehicles, unlawful entry and robbery.
The operation will enhance policing activities across Queensland to reduce victim numbers and strengthen community safety.
Police regions, supported by specialist squads, will undertake coordinated disruption activities across the state. Police will target high-harm offenders and work closely with partner agencies to ensure offenders are held accountable. With a strong focus on crime prevention, police will be highly visible as they prevent, disrupt and investigate offending, with particular emphasis on unlawful use, robbery and unlawful entry.
The operation will be locally led and centrally coordinated, leveraging the knowledge and experience of officers who know their communities best.
