Urgent appeal – missing children at Beerwah, QLD

Sunshine Coast detectives are seeking urgent public assistance to help locate two young children who were removed from a home at Beerwah yesterday following an alleged violent confrontation with the occupants of the residence, Queensland Police say.

It is understood four to six people- at least two women and two men- attended a Greber Road home around 9.30am yesterday, Tuesday November 21.

Police will allege the two adult occupants of the house- a 31-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman- were threatened by the group before the woman was struck on the head with a metal pole, sustaining a laceration to her head that required hospital treatment.

Two children- a three-year-old girl and her one-year-old brother- were removed from the house, with the group then leaving with the children.
