Police Allegedly Too Busy to Respond as Teens Threaten Kurri Kurri Resident with Shotgun

This is a concerning situation that occurred in Kurri Kurri early this morning. Around 2:30 a.m., a man noticed several teenagers acting suspiciously, appearing to case houses and vehicles by taking photos of them. The man confronted the teens, who reportedly warned him that it would be safer for him to return inside, claiming they had a shotgun. Despite the alarming nature of the situation, the man allegedly called the police but was told they were too busy to attend due to other incidents.

The man’s wife shared a warning anonymously on the Kurri Kurri Notice Board, urging other residents to be cautious. Her post describes the teens as approximately 16-18 years old, wearing long pants and hoodies, and acting disrespectfully when approached. She attached a photo her husband managed to take but noted that the teens were not clearly visible. The post also advised parents to be aware of their children’s whereabouts, as there could be severe consequences if someone feels forced to protect their property.
