Operation Yankee Forge has seen 253 people charged with 584 offences as part of a crackdown on robbery and unlawful entry offences.
126 young people were also arrested as part of the crackdown with 366 offences between them.
Those charged include a 14-year-old Mareeba girl who was charged with two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
Detective Acting Inspector Kevin Goan says the QPS’ priority is ensuring no harm is brought to a community member because of property offenders.
“Our local police live and work in this community too, so they’re committed to disrupting stolen vehicles, and disrupting crime to keep their neighbours, friends, family and fellow community members safe,” Detective Acting Inspector Goan says.
“We are grateful for information provided by the community, as it allows us to react quickly to prevent criminal activity and possible further victims.”
