Eight teens caught in pool onslaught

Eight young people will be dealt with under the Young Offender’s Act following an investigation by Brisbane Water Police District.

Earlier this week, police began investigating two trespass incidents that occurred at Terrigal on Monday and Tuesday, February 3 and 4 February.

Police were told a group of teens allegedly jumped the fence of an apartment complex and used a private pool before throwing furniture into the pool and leaving.

Following extensive inquiries by police, eight local teenagers – all aged between 13 and 17 – were identified as allegedly being involved.

All eight teens will be dealt with under the Young Offender’s Act for the offence of trespass.

As inquiries into anti-social behaviour continue, police remind the community of the importance of reporting incidents directly to police, rather than only on social media.
