Ram‑Raid Rodeo at Bribie Island Central
At around 3.10 AM this Monday, Queensland police were called to witness a real-life smash-bash at Prouds Jewellers in Bribie Island Central. A black Great Wall ute was used to repeatedly ram roller shutters and glass cabinets before two masked thieves legged it out with sacks full of bling.
CCTV Shows “Ute Fury”
Footage from the phone repair shop across the mall captured the ute crashing into the jewellery cabinets and battering the shutters. The manager lamented: “This is the third time the store has been robbed… the jewellery store has always been targeted.”

Aussie Take‑Home Tip
Look, if you’re gonna rock up with a ute at 3 AM and toss it at a jeweller, congratulations—you’ve just escalated from petty crime to licence‑revoking stupidity. And if it’s your third hit, maybe forgo the repeat performance and take up lawn bowls instead.
