POLICE have charged two teenagers following a dangerous driving incident in Nambour.

It is alleged that on August 10, a white Honda Civic that had been reported stolen from Mudjimba was driven erratically to Nambour before it crashed at the intersection of Coronation Avenue and Carroll Street around 8.40 am.

A 15-year-old boy was apprehended nearby a short time later and charged with six offences.

Following subsequent investigations, he has since been charged with additional offences including one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle and driving a motor vehicle without a licence.

He is next due to face Maroochydore Children’s Court on September 9.

A second 15-year-old Image Flat boy has also now been charged with one count of unlawful use of a motor vehicle in company.

He has been dealt with under the Youth Justice Act.

Investigations remain ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact police.

POLICE TARGETING ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR  
Sunshine Coast Police are investigating multiple wilful damage incidents in Mooloolaba, following reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.

Officer in Charge of Maroochydore Station Senior Sergeant Jacob Flaherty said youths creating disturbances can expect to see police anywhere, anytime.

“We are also asking parents to work with police in preventing and disrupting any possible anti-social behaviour or offending,” he said.

“Be aware of your child’s whereabouts, who they are with, and what activities they are undertaking.”

Just before 10.20 pm on June 20, police were called to a disturbance involving a large group of youths near a bus stop on Mooloolaba Esplanade near the intersection with Meta Street.

Upon arrival, officers observed that a glass panel at the bus stop had been damaged.

A 15-year-old boy suffered lacerations to his leg and was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.

At 10 pm on July 5, police were called to another disturbance involving a large group of youths near a park on Mooloolaba Esplanade close to the intersection with Brisbane Road.

Following further enquiries, officers observed damage to the toilet block caused by a small fire.

No other structures were damaged, and the fire was extinguished prior to police arriving on scene.

Around 9 pm on August 3, an unknown number of offenders caused significant damage to a toilet block on Mooloolaba Esplanade near Venning Street, ripping off cubicle doors.

No charges have been laid over either incident, and investigations into all incidents are ongoing.
