A man and two teenagers were arrested at Cronulla during a Police Transport Command operation targeting anti-social behaviour south of Sydney yesterday, December 4.
Police Transport Command officers from the south/south west region were joined by officers from St George, Miranda and Sutherland local area commands to conduct Operation Blueline.
Operation Blueline was a high visibility police operation on the rail network between Cronulla and Wolli Creek and surrounding areas.
A 20-year-old man and two 16-year-old teenagers were arrested at Cronulla after they allegedly stole a dinghy at a park off Nicholson Parade.
During their arrest, they allegedly entered several backyards to evade police.
All three people were taken to Miranda Police Station.
The 20-year-old man was charged with illegal use of conveyance (vessel), enterning enclosed lands (twice) and disobeying police direction.
He was granted conditional bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court on January 18, 2017.
The two teenagers were released pending further inquiries.
During the operation, 31 officers patrolled 39 trains and issued 43 transport infringement notices, conducted 43 person searches and gave 38 move-on directions.
Officers also issued one cannabis caution notice, one criminal infringement notice, three traffic infringement notices, three parking infringement notices, and conducted 27 random breath tests.
Operation Blueline is expected to continue over the school holidays period in early 2017.
