The device is not a lethal device but has the capacity to cause injury to a person in close proximity if handled incorrectly.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson says members of the public who have information about the location of this device may not know the significance of such a piece of equipment and are urged not to tamper with it and call police immediately.

“In keeping with the police standards a review will be conducted into the circumstance of the matter,” they say.
