Members from the Youth Crime Unit (YCU) have summonsed a 16-year-old girl in relation to the criminal damage of a BP Service Station in Fannie Bay last week.

It is alleged that a group of youths walked to the service station at approximately 11:50 pm last Monday. As the attendant attempted to lock the entrance doors shut, one of the Youths stood in the doorway preventing the sliding door from closing. A 16-year-old girl walked to the open doorway with the fire extinguisher from the bowser area and pulled the pin, emptying its contents inside the service station.

Youth Crime Members identified several of the youths involved from CCTV footage.

The 16-year-old girl voluntarily attended Casuarina Police Station and will be summonsed to appear in the Darwin Youth Justice Court at a later date.

A 12-year-old girl has been dealt with by way of Youth Diversion and a 13-year-old girl is to be assessed for Youth Diversion in respect to their involvement in the incident.
