POLICE patrolling the Narooma skatepark on the weekend caught youths drinking on several occasions, confiscating and tipping out around five wine casks and bottles. A number of youths ran when approached by officers.

Residents in the area have also been intimidated and threatened by youths at the skatepark. Neighbours say eggs and knives have been thrown at houses and the bomb squad from the Bay had to come when a mysterious package was located on their doorstep due to the packages contents and it being left there late at night.

Residents are calling for more patrols of the area.
