Two men have been charged with looting after police allege they attempted to steal from the property in Queensland where the recent police shootings took place.

A 23-year-old and 25-year-old have been arrested and charged after they were allegedly caught attempting to steal two motorbikes from the Wieambilla property where two police and a civilian were shot and killed last week.

According to police, the two men are alleged to have parked their car away from the property before walking through bushland to reach the former home of the Trains.
