Western Australia's police commissioner has deployed a team of specialist officers to the remote Kimberley town of Kununurra in response to a series of car thefts in the area.
The decision to send dedicated resources to the town signals a concerted effort by WA Police to address the problems emerging in the community. Kununurra, located in the far north of the state, has been experiencing difficulties that prompted the commissioner to act at a specialist level.
The deployment of specialist police to Kununurra follows the theft of several vehicles in the town. Authorities have not yet released further details about the incidents or the specific nature of the specialist team assigned to the region.
