Police are appealing for information after a man was threatened and quad bike stolen in the state's far north yesterday.
About 8am (Monday 17 January 2022), two men on a quad bike entered a property on Tucka Tucka Road, Twin Rivers, about 25km east of Boggabilla and allegedly stole a quad bike.
The owner – 36-year-old man – followed the men through a neighbouring property before one crashed then joined the other man on the second quad bike.
When they crashed the second quad bike, the owner approached the men and was threatened with a knife.
The man left and the men left the scene. A short time later, the quad bike was found upside down but there was no sign of the men.
