Police dog finds secret bunker on a sugar cane farm in Queensland amid kidnapping search

A police dog named Quincy found a hidden underground bunker full of weapons while investigating an alleged small town kidnapping and torture case.

Quincy discovered the secret bunker on a sugarcane farm in Far North Queensland on Sunday after a local man presented to hospital with severe head injuries and claimed he was kidnapped.

Queensland Police allege the 28-year-old man visited a property on Chettle Road, in Arriga, to meet a 27-year-old acquaintance. 

However, when the man arrived he was met by the 27-year-old and a 37-year-old man who were allegedly armed with guns. 

The man claims he was forced into a vehicle and tied up before one of the alleged gunman hit him in the head with a rifle.

The two men allegedly took the man’s wallet and damaged his car before releasing him.

The 28-year-old drove to Atherton hospital where he was treated for his injuries and reported the alleged kidnapping to police. 

Inside the hidden bunker police found 27 firearms and ‘thousands of rounds of ammunition’ as well as illegal drugs

Quincy was part of the team searching the property after the arrests and sniffed out the bunker which was filled to the brim with weapons.

Police found 27 firearms, ‘thousands of rounds of ammunition’, jewellery, watches, cannabis, methylamphetamine and the 28-year-old’s allegedly stolen items.

The 27-year-old man was charged with one count each of armed robbery, deprivation of liberty, torture, assault occasioning bodily harm, willful damage and two counts of possessing a dangerous drug.

Alongside the weapons, police found jewellery, watches, cannabis, methylamphetamine and the 28-year-old’s allegedly stolen items in the secret bunker
