A HOME owner disturbed three teenagers attempting to steal items from a Bridgewater shed.
Sgt Sean Dixon, of Inglewood police, said the youngsters immediately fled the scene and inquiries were continuing.
Police are also investigating a petrol drive-off in Inglewood about 7am Saturday.
Sgt Dixon said a 1989 Nissan Patrol reported stolen from South Australia allegedly left the service station after filling up with $168 worth of fuel.
He said the vehicle was described as two tone - a blue top and silver bottom.
Sgt Dixon appealed to anyone with dashcam footage to contact local police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Meanwhile, police and Wedderburn SES were called to multiple incidents the previous weekend as winds across the region brought down trees.
A tree had to be removed from the Logan-Kingower Road about 2.50pm while a tree toppled in the front yard of a Wilson Street, Wedderburn, property about 4.40pm crashing through power lines and damaging the bonnet and driver’s door of a late model Toyota sedan.
And about 8.40pm, SES volunteers removed a tree from the Wehla-Rheola Road.
The tree had a one-metre diameter trunk and it took more than 30 minutes to have the road cleared.
A Jung woman escaped injury when her car left the Inglewood-Kingower Road about 7.20pm.
Senior Constable Andrew Gibbs said the car became wedged beside a tree after leaving the road on sunset.
A passing motorist took the woman into Inglewood.
