Police are seeking information and assistance in relation to an incident that occurred between 3.15pm and 4pm on Wednesday, March 27.

Police are requesting any information or dash cam footage in relation to an incident on Tin Can Bay Road, near the Gympie Connection Road intersection where a police vehicle was damaged by a 2022 white Mitsubishi Triton dual cab utility with no registration plates.
