Bright lights: Illegal flares light up the night sky at Rye during Schoolies’ Week. Underage drinking caused headaches for police. Picture: Gary Sissons
Schoolies light up Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WAYWARD schoolies may have let the heat go to their heads during rowdy gatherings on the foreshore near Rye pier on several nights last week. Sergeant Dean Matthews, of Rosebud police, said “three or four” young men had been arrested for lighting flares, minor assaults, assaulting police, resisting arrest and bringing alcohol to the foreshore.

In one instance youths were capsicum sprayed when they “crowded in” on police in a show of defiance. Those who refused to drop their flares were arrested and those who would not back away were sprayed, resulting in “half a dozen” youngsters being asked to produce their IDs and copping $634 on-the-spot disorderly conduct tickets. A 22-year-old burned his hand when lighting a flare at Rye, 12.30am, Wednesday 29 November. He was
among up to 1000 revellers – many of them drunk – gathered on the foreshore to party. Three flares were set off and the Clayton man received superficial burns. He was treated by ambulance officers at the scene. Sergeant Matthews said he was “a little bit disappointed, especially with the older kids flouting local laws, such as lighting flares, drinking alcohol on the foreshore and causing street damage”. “I am happy to have the schoolies here, but some of them get extra rowdy when alcohol is involved and they are making it dangerous for the younger

were refused entry to the house and returned with what police described as two “improvised incendiary devices” which they allegedly threw at the house. Neither device – said to be two beer bottles filled with accelerant – ignited. One smashed a window causing a small amount of damage but the other fell short. Sorrento CFA crews attended. An 18-year-old Blairgowrie man was later bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court next month charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury and criminal damage.
