POLICE have launched Operation Xray Sorcerer on the Sunshine Coast to curb anti-social behaviour among young people during the school holidays.
The Tactical Crime Squad, Child Protection Investigation Unit, Criminal Investigation Branch, and local officers will work together through September and into Christmas using a mix of enforcement and engagement strategies. High-visibility patrols, bail compliance checks, and wanding for weapons will be paired with youth engagement through the Sunshine Coast Youth Co-Responder Team (YCRT).
Detective Inspector Chris Toohey said the YCRT would play a vital role in prevention, diversion, and support. “We’re asking parents to work alongside us … be aware of where your children are and who they are with,” he said.
