On Monday 24 August, 2009 a number of people were hit by water balloons in the streets surrounding the University of Tasmania Campus in Hobart.
Hobart Criminal Investigation Branch has completed enquiries in relation to the incident and as a result two Hobart men will be summoned to appear in court for “recklessly throwing a missile”. Three 17-year-olds will also be dealt with by means of diversionary conferencing under the Youth Justice Act.
Police wish to thank the public for their assistance and the information provided by them.
Police would also like to remind members of the public that throwing water balloons from a moving car has the potential to cause serious injury.
Hobart CIB is continuing to make enquiries into the assault of two students which occurred in the early hours of Saturday 3 October, 2009 at the Observatory Hotel in Hobart. Police would like to hear from anyone who can provide further information in relation to this matter. Those persons are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
