Two men have been charged after allegedly damaging property, assaulting a police officer, and offensive behaviour while naked, in Port Macquarie yesterday.
About 6.10am (Sunday 27 March 2016), officers attached to Mid North Coast Local Area Command received several reports of two men allegedly causing damage to property in the Port Macquarie CBD.
Officers attended and arrested one of the men, aged 20; however, the second man allegedly fled the scene.
The man in custody allegedly pushed a police officer to the ground and attempted to flee the scene, before he was arrested a short distance away.
Further inquiries led police to arrest the second man, aged 19, at a motel on Clarence Street, and two mobile phones were seized.
Both men were taken to Port Macquarie Police Station.
It will be alleged both men maliciously damaged a number of vehicles and boom gates at a caravan park on Munster Street, approached a number of women while naked, and the younger man committed a number of acts on various objects on Clarence Street, while naked.
The older man has been charged with assault police, escape custody, goods in custody, and offensive language.
The younger man has been charged with three counts of act of indecency, three counts of malicious damage, and goods in custody.
Both men were granted conditional bail, to appear at Port Macquarie Local Court on Wednesday 13 April 2016.
The estimated cost of the damage to the property is up to $30,000.
