A man is still missing after jumping into the Brisbane River to escape officers amid a Queensland Police crackdown on "disgusting" looters in the flood-hit city.
Deputy Police Commissioner Shane Chelepy has assured southeast Queenslanders devastated by floods their properties are safe, saying officers will continue anti-looting patrols that sparked an extensive search in the city's west on Tuesday.
Police are still looking for a suspected looter more than a day after he was last seen running toward the Brisbane River when he was approached by officers.
