A shopping centre on the NSW Central Coast was plunged into a lockdown on Monday, after a teenage girl produced a knife near a Kmart store. The incident occurred about 12.30pm on Tuesday at a shopping centre in Goobarabah Ave, Lake Haven, with Tuggerah Lakes police rushing to the centre.
Police called to emergency at Central Coast shopping centre. No threat was made to the public. The knife was secured and the girl was then transported to hospital to undergo an assessment. On Tuesday, former NSW Police deputy commissioner Mick Willing appeared on Sunrise, speaking about the incident ahead of NSW Police being granted new “wanding” powers. “There’s no excuse for somebody to carry a knife in public unless they have a lawful reason, like employment,” Willing said.
