Cairns overnight crime wrap, October 25
Property offences, Kewarra Beach: Police are investigating a break and enter that occurred at a Poolwood Road business in Kewarra Beach overnight.

Entry was gained via the front sliding door, which was partially open and off its rail upon police arrival. The door has a large crack across the top half of the glass panel, which appears to have been caused during the forced entry.
