“While no arrests have been made, a full investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding these incidents, which I recognise will cause great concern in the community.

I would also urge anyone with dashcam footage who may have been driving close to Jubilee Park between 7 pm and 10 pm, or Riversley Park between 7 pm and 8 pm yesterday evening to also make contact with us.”
