well done tas police
And there you go, no car will be crushed, damage costs will still be paid for by the ratepayers, the police have done their job, a youth, not from New Norfolk, is heading for detention.
With council elections coming up I really hope that the inevitable ” I am tough on crime” and strong arm emojis will not be played out on social media.
It’s a shame that the positive story of the local community that came together at short notice and the games “did go on” just down the road at another oval wasn’t highlighted. But that just doesn’t get the same media attention at election time does it. What’s the saying, any media attention is good.
Well NOT for the community.
