Geraldton Police put to the test by wily sheep who was on the lamb in the CBD resisting arrest – Medical Marijuana Program Connection
[ad_1]
The WA Police Force was put to the test when they pursued a “baa-ndit” of a different kind who was trying to “fleece” unsuspecting locals and resist arrest.
The offender on the lam was in fact a fast and elusive sheep on the loose in the Geraldton CBD last week.
The woolly creature put up a fluffy fight, bowling officers over and outrunning others during a foot chase.
The pursuit lasted for more than 10 minutes before officers finally cornered the animal and eventually loaded it into the back of a police vehicle.
“Geraldton Police refused to have the wool pulled over their eyes when they encountered an uncooperative customer in the CBD, who was no doubt looking to fleece unsuspecting locals,” Geraldton Police posted to social media on Friday.
“After being led through a number of ‘ewe-turns’, the officers coordinated a ‘lambush’ to bring the incident to an end.

“A witness to the unfolding situation described the officer’s response as ‘shear’ brilliance and you can see a ‘ewetube’ video of the arrest.”
As of yet, it is unclear if the sheepish suspect was wanted for a ram raid or a baa-r brawl which may or may not have happened on Marine-o Terrace.

Crown boss joins call for more workers to return to CBD, less working from home – Medical Marijuana Program Connection
[ad_1]
The head of Australia’s largest casino group says CBDs are facing a crisis, as he called for workers to return to the office.
Ahead of an Economic Outlook forum to be hosted by Sky News and the The Australian at Sydney’s Crown on Friday, Crown Resorts chief executive Ciarán Carruthers said he wants workers out of their homes to boost consumer and business confidence and revitalise CBDs.
His plea came as new ABS figures this week reveal Australia’s economy slowed to just 0.2 per cent in the March quarter, coinciding with the RBA’s decision to hike rates to its highest figure in decades.
Crown is one of the country’s biggest employers, and the biggest single site employer in Victoria. With its $2.2 billion VIP casino and resort in freshly developed Barangaroo in Sydney, and its operations in Perth, the company employs more than 23,000 staff.
“We are still behind where we were pre-pandemic and part of that is the CBD hasn’t returned to full vibrancy as yet. Work from home has certainly given us a challenge,” Mr Carruthers told The Australian.
Crown chief executive Ciaran Carrathurs said the quiet city was having an impact on domestic and international tourism.
