Subject: ***Brisbane Warning – Please read
***WARNING***
Please circulate this following warning to everyone you know.
This actually happened a few weeks ago right here near Fairfield in Brisbane. It was early evening and a young lady stopped to get petrol at a Quix. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol. The cashier told her “Don’t pay for your petrol yet…..walk around the store for a while and act as if you’re picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I’ve called the police and they’re on their way”.
When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the girl’s car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang.
If the woman was still alive by the time they finish with her then They let her go. According to the police that night, there is a new gang forming here originating from Wetherill Park. The scary part of this is because the guy didn’t have a weapon on him the police could only charge him with trespassing…. He’s back on the street and fee to try again.
Please be aware of what’s going on around you and for your family and friends. LADIES you or one of your family and friends could be the next victim.
