Second girl charged over Budgewoi brawl

The holiday park pool gatecrashed by teenagers

A second girl, aged 16, has been charged with affray in relation to the teenager violence at Budgewoi Holiday Park on Sunday, February 23.

She has been granted strict conditional bail until her appearance before a Children’s Court on Tuesday, March 25.

Last week Coast Community News reported that a 15-year-old girl from Olney Dr, Blue Haven, faced Children’s Court on Saturday, March 1, when she was remanded in custody to appear before Children’s Court on Friday, March 7.

She was formally refused bail once again, to appear before Children’s Court on Friday, April 11.

The girls have been charged in relation to a violent rampage involving up to 30 teenagers at Budgewoi Holiday Park.

Police were called to the holiday park on Weemala St following reports of a brawl which erupted after teenagers let themselves into the pool area, and staff members asked them to leave.

Days later, shocking video footage emerged on social media showing the violent interaction when youths were kicking and punching staff members in groups of three to four at a time, including in the head and while they were on the ground.

Bystanders were forced to intervene and break up the fight after 10 minutes.

Staff members suffered minor bruising and were treated at the scene.

The group of teenagers ran off prior to police arrival.

Police are conducting a large-scale investigation and are following several lines of inquiry, confident that more arrests will be made.
