Police Target Tassie Youth Criminals

‘Enough is enough’: Police are cracking down ‘big time’ on crime and anti-social behaviour following several recent scares in parts of Hobart.

Police officers were out in numbers at Northgate, Eastlands and the Elizabeth Street Mall today, as well as surrounding areas including bus malls in Hobart, Glenorchy and Rosny, all in an effort to reduce anti-social behaviour and crime – including shoplifting and drugs.
