QUEENSLAND Police have a very serious job to do and the Queensland Police Media Unit are tasked with the serious business of keeping the media and in turn the public informed.

The great thing is they do it with a good dose of humour.

Now they have rolled out what is possibly their funniest social media stunt to date.

The post has a caricature of the members of the band Nickelback saying “Men matching this description expected to be committing musical crimes in Boondall tonight.”

The post is not the first time they have taken a swipe at Nickelback with another post in January this year:

Here’s some more examples of the wit and wisdom of the QPS Media Unit:
