Townsville police have arrested a further two men alleged to have been in a stolen car rammed by vigilantes who then lost control and killed a young motorcyclist last week.
The development comes amid warnings from police that people who took the law into their own hands would be investigated “like any other criminal”, with additional officers flown north from Brisbane to work with a new taskforce.
Police have confirmed the home of 22-year-old motorcyclist Jennifer Board was broken into on Saturday night.

A police officer has issued desperate plea to politicians and vigilantes following the tragic death of his close friend killed in a horror crash.
Jennifer Board, 22, was killed instantly when two cars collided and spun out of control at an intersection in Townsville on Friday night, one smashing into her.
The fatal crash devastated the Far North Queensland city, where many blamed the state s broken youth justice laws for the tragedy.
Police have since arrested a teenage girl, 17 over the crash and charged her with fives counts of unlawful use of a vehicle and one count of stealing.
