Boy arrested breaking into police station

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in Adelaide – for breaking into a local police station.
Police said officers at the Parks Police Station, in Adelaide’s western suburbs, heard knocking on the front doors of the station at about 3am (CDT) today.

“The knocking quickly turned into the sound of smashing glass, with the patrol allegedly locating the youth in the front foyer of the police station,” a police spokesman said.

The boy was charged with breaking into the building and with property damage after about $2000 damage was caused a front window and the front sliding door.

He was expected to appear in the Port Adelaide Youth Court today.

We have the best stupid people in the world. People here don’t know how not to get in everyone else’s way (seriously, at Sainsburys the other day, this old woman came careering towards me, trolley in one hand, stick of bread in the other, and a glazed expression on her face. I had to jump out of the way or she would have run me over in her haste to get to a bottle of milk) but at least they know not to break into police stations while there are police in there.
