Sandy Creek Bridge on Drayton Street at Nanango … motorists have complained their vehicles were pelted with rocks on Saturday night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 19, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social media erupted on Saturday night with reports that children were pelting vehicles with rocks near the Sandy Creek Bridge in Nanango.<\/p>\n

One rock smashed the window of a local taxi cab, while another reportedly struck a woman in the head, causing a small lump.<\/p>\n

One woman said she rang the police after her vehicle was hit as she was coming home from work:<\/p>\n

I rang last night when I got hit and they said they will send a car around, but that’s no good, they just bolt<\/em><\/p>\n

Another woman said her vehicle had been “chipped” when the children threw a rock at it.<\/p>\n

Some commenters called for vigilante action, while others had more sensible – and legal solutions – in mind.<\/p>\n

Wow this has happened a lot. Need a cheap outdoor solar camera hidden down there. Catch the little stinkers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe we should have a town meeting incuding (sic) the police and voice and raise our concerns and try and reach a proper solution to stop these kids and the breakins, that have been happening. The proper channels need to be followed or the situation will escalate and that would spell disaster.<\/em><\/p>\n

Time to find them. Parents can pay the repair costs.<\/em><\/p>\n

A Nanango police spokesperson said investigations into the rock-throwing incidents were continuing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not the first time that incidents like this have occurred near the bridge, and police suspect the same group of young people could be responsible.<\/p>\n

Residents have been urged to report incidents to police when they happen rather than simply post about it later on social media.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about this latest incident should call Policelink on 131-444 or CrimeStoppers anonymously on 1800-333-000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
