Fifteen youths fought at a bus stop near Burger King about 3pm last week, leaving one in hospital and six facing charges. Burger King Shirley manager Tina Sherma has welcomed the increased police presence. In the past few months there have often been up to 10 or 12 youths loitering nearby smoking and drinking, she said. Mrs Sherma and her staff were threatened when they asked youths to move on. “I went to talk to them (and) they said they were going to chase me to my house and find Accredited installers 10yr workmanship guarantee 6 yr warranty out where I live,” she said. Senior Sergeant Stephan McDaniel said the problem can be countered by more policing. Five units were called to the brawl last Monday. The location is a big factor in causing problems. “The location (the bus stop) has a high volume of youths and foot traffic at that time of the day,” he said. Senior Sergeant McDaniel said the youths fighting last week were not school students as had been previously reported. “It’s not necessarily school kids, it’s young adults that aren’t going to school.” Shirley Vet Clinic employee Christine O’Keefe said it’s not the first time something like this has happened. • Turn to page 5 Fujitsu Heat PumP at a HOt HOt Price Six Year Warranty Conditions apply* 5.4kW Hi Wall $1,999 FULLY INSTALLED* MoDEL: ASTG14LUCB DON’T MISS OUT!
