22.01.2022 It's a happy Friday for one lucky lass! Snr Constable Graeme thought he'd struck it rich with his detector at the lake, only to find the elusive missing engagement ring advertised on the local notices page. The ring has been returned to the owner and Graeme was relieved, as it wasn't his size Thank you Snr Constable Graeme!!

20.01.2022 Hughenden Police would like to warn local residents of a current scam occurring with several of our residents victimised already. The scam involves a person calling you claiming to be from the Australian Taxation Office or possibly another government agency before making threats that due to owed money or fraud offences you will be arrested or a warrant issued unless you follow their instructions. The instructions may vary but can include providing bank details, taxation de...tails, other personal details, or request the purchase of gift cards before providing the card numbers and PINs as payment. The scammer may use the caller ID of a legitimate government agency, a company, or a person. In one recent report the scammer has faked their caller ID to appear as the Hughenden Police Station phone number. Police would like to remind all residents that we never make arrests or execute warrants over the phone and phone calls from Police will always show with a private caller ID. If you receive a similar call please do not provide any details over the phone. If you are concerned please call or visit your local Police Station personally otherwise for details on how to report different scams including ones similar to this please see: https://www.qld.gov.au//consumer/scams-fraud/report-a-scam
