Westbrook Beach residents waking up on Thursday morning were welcomed by passed out beach-goers scattered in a sea of empty beer bottles and food wrappers.
This, after police officers were stationed at the M4 entrance throughout Reconciliation Day with the intention of keeping alcohol and unruly behaviour at bay.
DA councillor Geoff Pullan said the police were trying every possible method to stop this behaviour, but beach-goers kept finding different ways to smuggle alcohol in.
“Our metro police have been at the entrance to the beach 24/7. They stop and search the boot of every car. The city has even poured soil along the M4 to create ‘berms’, so that people cannot drive off the M4 to the top parking and avoid the police search. The vehicles have no liquor in the them, but the party goes on,” said Pullan.
“Apparently some people are being dropped off at Casuarina Beach, carrying their liquor along the beach and bringing it to the top parking. Others are letting their friends carry bags of liquor along the M4 and climb through the bush to the top parking.”
The police are determined not to give up and were back in full force on Friday morning.
