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.
This incident highlights community concerns about safety and the police’s capacity to respond to such threats promptly. It serves as a reminder to stay vigilant and look out for one another in the neighborhood.
Just a word of warning to those around the Kurri Kurri first grade football ground area.
Kurri Kurri Noticeboard
This morning around 2.30am my husband caught 3 teenagers, looking to be between 16-18 years of age, loitering around the street and taking photos of houses and cars. When approached they instantly became little smartarses and told my husband it would be safer for him to just go inside, even mentioning something about having a shotgun.
The police were notified, however, were unable to attend due to competing needs.
The teenagers were all wearing long pants and hoodies and were unable to be seen clearly. This is the only photo my husband was able to get.
If these are your kids, I would be getting them off the streets before some innocent citizen is forced to protect their property and someone gets hurt.
