Arrests made at coal seam gas protest - Kyogle Tuesday, 05 February 2013 03:49:47 PM

Police have arrested three people during an operation at Doubtful Creek near Kyogle. They were arrested today (Tuesday 5 February, 2013) as part of a police operation monitoring protest action outside a gas company, which is conducting works at Doubtful Creek, near Kyogle.

A man aged 39 from Byron Bay was charged with 2 x counts of resist/hinder police in the execution of their duty. He has been refused bail and will appear at Lismore Local Court today.

A man aged 55 from Woodenbong was issued a criminal infringement notice for offensive conduct.

A man aged 25 from Roseberry was charged with disobey a reasonable direction and was refused bail. He will appear at Casino Local Court on 7 March, 2013.

Richmond Local Area Commander, Acting Superintendent Michael Dempsey, urged all protesters to act within the confines of the law or face being arrested.

“Officers are working with protesters to ensure the company can lawfully access their site,” Acting Superintendent Dempsey said. “Everyone has the right to protest peacefully, however, when this obstructs traffic, interferes with people’s safety and hinders their work, action must be taken.

“All reasonable directions given by police must be adhered to.  “Criminal offences and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. Police will take appropriate action,” he said.
