Albany Creek Tavern at Albany Creek was forced to do a temporary closure on Friday, 6 December 2024, after a woman climbed into the roof cavity.
Emergency services were called to the pub at 4:30 PM. Police located a 48-year-old woman who had entered through a manhole in the building’s ceiling and initially refused to come down.
The pub was evacuated, and power to the establishment was shut down. Queensland Police Service reported the woman appeared drug-affected and would not initially descend from the roof cavity.
At approximately 5:00 PM, the pub was evacuated due to power disconnection. Police negotiated with the woman, who ultimately climbed down at around 6:50 PM.
The woman was transported to hospital by Queensland Ambulance Service. The pub reopened at 7:00 PM.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
