(Queensland Police) Two crime scenes have been declared — the home in Gin Gin and her housemate's grey Hyundai ix35 with registration 414EW3. A search of the car led police to allegedly find a shortened firearm, ammunition, and two replica handguns. More ammunition was allegedly found at a home in Gin Gin. Bromley and Wood have since been charged with unrelated weapons offences. They remain before the courts on the weapons charges. national

Fire rips through Storage King facility at Burpengary, north of Brisbane
A fire destroyed a major storage facility on Wednesday night. The blaze began ripping through the Storage King on Old Gympie Rd at Burpengary, north of Brisbane, from about 6pm. It's unclear at this stage how many customers had goods stored within the facility. Toxic smoke plumed from the business, and prompted a warning to nearby residents. 'A large volume of smoke is affecting the surrounding area, including the Bruce Hwy,' Queensland Fire Department said. Two people who breathed in the smoke were treated by paramedics, and one person was hospitalised. Queensland Police issued a Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA), with major roadways impacted by the smoke. One passenger in a car driving past on a highway could be heard in footage of the incident, saying he could feel the heat of the fire from the car, and urging the driver not to stop. The PSPA exclusion zone encompassed New Settlement Rd, Pitt Rd, Bellini Rd, Twists Rd and Old Bay Rd. It has since been revoked. 'There is no ongoing threat to the public,' police said.
