A teenage girl will face the Hobart Youth Justice Court in November, after allegedly smashing the windows of a CBD business, and assaulting a staff member.
Police were called to the Elizabeth Street Mall at around 5pm on Tuesday following reports the youth was smashing windows with a hammer.
The 14-year-old has been charged with common assault, unlawfully using a dangerous article in a public place, and destroying property.
“Tasmania Police is committed to protecting the community and local businesses and detecting and preventing anti-social and criminal behaviour with the aim of making our public spaces safer for everyone,” Constable D’arne Triffett said.
“Our community deserves to feel safe at home, out in public and in their workplaces.
“Behaviour such as this will not be tolerated.
“We will continue to target anti-social and criminal behaviour and where appropriate, necessary and authorised by law, we will be charging those who offend, and putting them before a Magistrate.”
