Tess Crosley has been pictured peering anxiously out the windows of her Brisbane home while her husband answered the door to police on New Year’s Eve.
Crosley’s partner Ben was shirtless as the two officers arrived at the house just before 1.30pm carrying an unidentified long, black piece of lockable luggage, and two other long black fabric bags, all of which were given to Mr Crosley.
Mr Crosley had his arms crossed as he spoke to the police while Tess pulled the curtains aside and watched on.
There is no suggestion that Tess or Ben Crosley engaged in any improper conduct in relation to the visit by police.
A Queensland Police spokesman said the agency had a record of a minor disturbance on the couple’s street on Wednesday afternoon, however ‘no formal complaint was made and so this is not being looked at as a criminal matter.’
The Daily Mail sought further information from police about that report.

The officers’ visit comes after Tess returned to her home from her Christmas getaway in northern NSW while she remains at the centre of the high-profile marriage breakdown between Lachie and Jules Neale.
On December 22, influencer Jules, 35, launched a remarkable public attack on Tess, demanding she remove Instagram photos of the Brisbane Lions’ recent grand final celebrations.
The post in question featured multiple images from grand final day and the celebrations following Brisbane’s back–to–back premiership win, with several photos showing Jules and Lachie on the field and inside the sheds celebrating with friends after the match.
The now-deleted comment, which was captured in screenshots, shows Jules writing: ‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself.’
Jules recently revealed the breakdown of her marriage – denying news reports she was ‘working through’ issues with Lachie and instead alleged that she had been ‘betrayed in the most unimaginable way’.
She did not specify what that entailed.
‘I want to make it very clear that I am not ‘working through’ anything,’ she wrote.
‘I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.

‘All I can do now is to heal and do what’s best for my children,’ she continued.
Within hours of posting the statement, Jules deleted every photo of Lachie from her Instagram account, erasing more than a decade of memories, while a moving truck was spotted parked in the driveway of the couple’s Brisbane home.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess.
Neither party has made any public comment on the situation.
On Monday, Tess was pictured with her son but without her wedding ring on the Gold Coast, while Ben was seen looking downcast in Brisbane.
Jules Neale was photographed in Brisbane on Tuesday after returning to her home state of Western Australia to be with family over Christmas.
A day after being spotted loading her car with moving boxes, the WAG tried to console herself with a morning coffee.
The garage of the Neales’ Brisbane home was packed full of moving boxes, which Jules – who has also ditched her wedding ring – was seen lugging to her car.
Crosley, 29, was thought to be staying with her parents at their Gold Coast home as the biggest scandal in footy continues.
The former Mormon missionary appeared to shrug off the drama when she posted some very relaxed pics on her Instagram Story as she enjoyed some down time in NSW.

Crosley posed in a skimpy brown bikini teamed with a straw cowboy hat, flaunting her figure in a pair of G-string bottoms in a bathroom mirror selfie.
Clearly chuffed with her look, she captioned the image with a simple ‘This’, and a heart-hands emoji.
Tess turned off the comments on the post, possibly sensing blowback from her followers amid the drama.
Photos recently emerged of Jules and Lachie Neale enjoying a holiday with Tess and her husband Ben, before the very public falling out.
The group looked to be having a great time in each other’s company, with one photo showing the former friends, clad in bikinis and posing on the sand.
Meanwhile, a video uploaded to Tess’ TikTok in June shows her, her husband Ben, Lachie and Jules taking part in a TikTok trend.
The clip shows the foursome performing the ‘hope our husbands like each other’ skit.
Jules is seen miming the phrase: ‘I hope our husbands get along’, before Tess jumps in with: ‘Me too’.
The camera then cuts to a shot of Lachie and Ben with their arms interlocked drinking a cocktail. The clip was captioned: ‘Four best friends’.
