Cherbourg Mayor Elvie Sandow called an urgent meeting with police, Youth Justice and other community service providers on Tuesday after a weekend of “chaotic behaviour” in the community.<\/p>\n

“We are deeply concerned about the recent upturn in youth-related crimes in our community,” Mayor Sandow said.<\/p>\n

“Over the Easter weekend, we witnessed a significant increase in deliberately lit fires, graffiti, vandalism, break and enter, theft, destruction of property and Elder abuse.<\/p>\n

“One of the most alarming issues we face is children who are going hungry, are traumatised, engaging in risky behaviours such as sniffing petrol.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayor Sandow said immediate action needed to be taken to recognise the issues and prevent them from escalating further.<\/p>\n

“Parents and carers, we urge if you are struggling, please reach out to the various services providers who are here to help,” the Mayor said.<\/p>\n

Police have asked Cherbourg residents to take extra measures to secure their vehicles, and use lockable fuel caps to prevent fuel theft.<\/p>\n

“We also need to address the lack of support after hours, with night patrols only running a few days a week,” Mayor Sandow said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As a council, community as well as service providers funded to act in our community, we need to work together to address this problem.<\/p>\n

“We are calling on agencies to collaborate and fill the service gap after hours in our community, providing support for our youth to prevent them from engaging in such harmful behaviour.<\/p>\n

“It is essential the issues that are generating these behaviours are addressed to make our community a safer and better place for all, and we must take immediate action to achieve this.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
