Drunken muck-up day antics end in Hawthorn arrests

RUMOUR FILE UPDATE

Several police were needed to break up what appeared to be muck-up celebrations gone awry in a Hawthorn park yesterday.

Neighbours reported a group of youths behaving badly in Rocket Park on Henry Street about 7pm.

Local officers and the Public Order Response Team arrived a short time later.

Two teenagers, both 18-year-old men, were eventually arrested for being drunk in a public place.

Another boy, 17, was taken home in the care of parents “due to being alcohol-affected”.

Police are also investigating reports of a window being smashed at a home in the street.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers.
