Teens charged with assault

Two teenage boys have been charged following extensive investigations including a public appeal into an alleged assault in Sippy Downs on Sunday, June 15.

Police allege about 7.50pm, two juveniles were riding an e-bike along High Street, when they have discharged a fire extinguisher into the open back window of a Silver Suzuki Vitara that was stationary at traffic lights.

The occupants of the vehicle, a 29-year-old male driver and 5-month-old child passenger, sustained minor injuries as a result and required treatment at hospital.

It will be further alleged, the fire extinguisher used in the incident was stolen from a nearby car park on Courage Street, Sippy Downs earlier that night.

A 15-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with 13 offences including three count each of wilful damage and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.

A 14-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with six offences including two count each of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm.

Both boys will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.

Police would like to thank the Sunshine Coast community for their assistance in this matter.
