A message from the Torquay Police Station

Following a small number of recent incidents at Torquay beach parties, local police would like to take this opportunity to encourage parents to have a conversation with their kids about the risks of underage drinking and anti-social behaviour.

A small number of offences have been detected at recent beach parties in Torquay including one serious assault, as well as underage drinking and drug use.

Police understand that there have been three beach events this year attended by approximately 100-200 teenagers.

Local police will maintain a high presence in the Torquay beach areas, with increased visible patrols on foot and on the roads to deter these gatherings.

We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time on our beaches, however underage drinking and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.

Victoria Police want to help you keep your kids safe and remind you that now is a great opportunity for families to have important conversations around the risks of underage drinking, drug use, and attending unsanctioned parties.

If any parent wishes to discuss any of these issues, please feel free to contact A/S/Sgt Peter Christo at Torquay Police on 5264-3402 or via email [email protected]
