Counter-terror Police have charged three activists, one from the Gold Coast and two from the Hinterland, over alleged break-ins and vandalism at businesses in Brisbane.
Two businesses in Tingaalpa and Coopers Plains were allegedly broken into and vandalised several times between April and August this year.
The incidents caused more than $40,000 in damage.
Police allege the incidents were part of a coordinated plan and the businesses were deliberately targeted.
Officers raided homes in Coombabah and Canungra on September 30, seizing storage and recording devices, including GoPro footage, various tools, and paint-filled fire extinguishers.
Detectives have since charged a 31-year-old Coombabah woman, a 31-year-old Canungra woman, and a 30-year-old Canungra man with 11 offences, including enter premises and commit indictable offences and wilful damage.
All three were bailed to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
Detective Acting Superintendent Jason Hindmarsh said the work undertaken is a credit to the Counter-Terrorism Investigation Group.
“While the Queensland Police Service acknowledges the right to peaceful protest, we will take action against anyone who engages in unlawful behaviour.
