Beachside traders raise concerns after recent fights

Key points

• Traders at Glenelg, a popular Adelaide beach area, have raised concerns that public brawls could keep families and tourists away. Police charged a 15-year-old boy with disorderly behaviour over an alleged fight at Glenelg Jetty on Sunday, and he is due to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court in December.
• The incident followed separate fights at Glenelg and Henley Beach in September, one of which led to a 14-year-old being reported for aggravated assault. Police have brought forward Operation Jericho to increase patrols along popular Adelaide beaches.
• Premier Peter Malinauskas warned young people they would face consequences.
