How not to transport whitegoods
A car stopped by police on Oxford Street, Bondi Junction, had a large fridge precariously strapped above the boot. If one of the thin straps had given way, it could have had lethal consequences.
The male driver received an infringement notice for an unsecure load and had to make alternative arrangements for transporting the fridge. Police counselled him about the advantages of using trailers for transporting heavy, bulky items.

Police say Bra Boy broke pensioner’s hip
A member of Maroubra’s Bra Boy gang has appeared in court charged with a serious assault on an elderly man at a Coles Express service station in Kingsford.
Jed Campbell, 44, is said to have kicked and punched the 74-year-old, who sustained a broken hip and facial injuries. According to police, there had been an earlier interaction in the service station carpark between the dementia sufferer and Campbell’s wife, who then drove home and told her husband about it. Campbell then went to the Coles Express where he allegedly set upon the man inside the supermarket, before dragging him by the ankles outside where he continued the assault.

Junction doctor in court on sex charges
A Bondi Junction GP has faced court accused of inappropriately touching three female patients.
Andrew Su Lin, 36, appeared in Waverley Court charged with three counts of sexual touching without consent and two counts of common assault.
He is said to have been employed at Myhealth in Bondi Junction’s Westfield at the time of the offences.

Not much relief for Caddick’s cheated investors
The Federal Court has heard that investors may still be owed up to $24 million after the assets of fraudster Melissa Caddick are sold.
Australian Securities and Investments Commission counsel, Farid Assaf SC, told the court the deposit and mortgage payments on her Dover Heights home came from the funds of her 72 investors. So did an Edgecliff penthouse, an Audi, a Mercedes, jewellery and other assets.
Caddick is believed to have flung herself from a Dover Heights cliff the day after financial investigators raided her home last November. Three months later, the remains of a foot found on a South Coast beach were DNA-matched to the missing fund manager.

Gay hate murder reward
Wanted: the cowards who beat Raymond Keam to death in a Randwick park 34 years ago. It is hoped someone who knows something will come forward after NSW Police posted a $1 million reward for information leading to a conviction for the notorious gay hate crime.
Mr Keam had a black belt in karate and knew how to look after himself, pointing to the likelihood of multiple attackers as he was set upon in Alison Park in the early hours of January 13, 1987. A post mortem revealed he died from severe head injuries.

Maroubra man arrested in ANOM blitz
Maroubra man Brian Blackman is among those swept up in an international crack-down on organised criminals using the encrypted message service ANOM.
The 51-year-old former Lone Wolf bikie was arrested at his home and charged with conspiracy to import a commercial quantity of cocaine and dealing with more than $1 million in proceeds of crime.
It is alleged Blackman was part of a syndicate which arranged the importation of 1.2 tonnes of cocaine by sea. He is one of hundreds of alleged criminals caught worldwide through the ANOM app, created and monitored by the FBI, with close Australian Federal Police involvement.

Teenagers stole cars – police
Six teenagers who allegedly stole two cars from homes in Dover Heights and Vaucluse were arrested in the Western Suburbs.
Aged from 14 to 19, they are said to have taken a Volkswagen Golf hatchback and a Mercedes SUV in the early hours, then driven them to the North Shore. Here the Merc was abandoned and the joyriders piled into the VW. It was tracked to Hebersham, where the arrests took place. It is understood that the vehicles are not in the best of shape.
