Police were called to an Inala residence around 12:20 p.m. after receiving reports that two women and a man were allegedly trying to steal a dog from the property.  The situation took a serious turn when it was discovered the male suspect was armed with a knife.

Earlier that day, the RSPCA had received separate reports alleging animal cruelty at the same address. This prompted their involvement when police apprehended a 25-year-old Acacia Ridge man at the scene.

In a further development, the RSPCA removed one dog and six puppies from the property due to concerns about their health and living conditions.



Authorities have confirmed that investigations into both the attempted robbery and the animal welfare allegations are ongoing. The Queensland Police Service is focusing on the circumstances surrounding the attempted theft, while the RSPCA continues its independent inquiries into the animal cruelty claims.
