NSW Police have issued a stern warning to would-be looters thinking of taking advantage of the floods crisis affecting the state’s north, after arresting one man for allegedly stealing property.
Police have arrested one man and moved on 16 more.
Heavy rains and flooding have affected large parts of Queensland, as well as northern NSW. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was in Lismore on Monday, as part of a tour of flood-affected regions, surveying homes, properties, cars and businesses left underwater by the deluge. The Wilsons River flowing through the town was said to have peaked at 11.6 metres, its highest measurement in 40 years.
“It is heartbreaking and tragic and it is going to take a long time particularly for the people in Lismore to recover from this event,” State Emergency Service deputy acting commissioner Mark Morrow said.
