Criminals stashing deadly weapons in shopping centres

Queensland shopping centres are calling on the government for tougher laws to address violent crime. It comes as criminals are stashing deadly weapons in shopping malls. These include the hiding of knives in malls across Queensland. The Shopping Centre Council of Australia is calling Queensland Premier Steven Miles to make the deliberate concealment of a weapon a criminal offence. The Queensland government has already introduced laws banning the sale of replica guns and knives to children.
