Police arrest two after rocks thrown at cars - Kensington

Police have arrested two boys after rocks were thrown from an overpass hitting vehicles travelling on Southern Cross Drive at Kensington this morning.

Around 11.20am (Friday 12 June 2020), at least two vehicles were hit by rocks allegedly thrown from an overpass leading to a golf club at Kensington. About 10 minutes later, two boys were arrested nearby and have been taken to Mascot Police Station.

South Sydney Police Area Commander Crime Manager, Detective Acting Inspector Guy Magee, has cautioned motorists in the area to be aware there are workers on the road clearing debris from rocks being thrown at passing cars.

"The consequences of such an act could easily cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle, resulting in the death or serious injury to innocent parties going about their business." Det Insp Magee said.

"Southern Cross Drive is one of the main arterial roads linking the city from the southern suburbs of Sydney and we are appealing to anyone who was driving there this morning and has dash-cam footage, relevant to our investigation, to contact police," Det Insp Magee said.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
