With the Easter break coinciding with the early part of the Roar hunting season, there will likely be big numbers of hunters taking to the bush this long weekend.

Police investigating how two children sustained horrific injuries at a Stokes Valley address, and previous Waterloo address, have had a member of the community come forward and speak with us.

“The information they have provided will form part of our enquiries and we continue to ask that anyone with information relating to these children does the right thing and shares that with Police,” says Detective Senior Sergeant Rebecca Cotton.
