Assault charges
A mother and her son will appear in the District Court today to face charges arising from an attack on four campers at Coes Ford on Wednesday evening. The woman, aged 43, and her son, aged 24, will both be charged with assault. The son also faces charges of possessing an offensive weapon and theft of a pair of jeans.
A firearm was produced and softball bats used in the attack about 6 p.m. Three male campers suffered cuts and bruises, although none was seriously hurt. A fourth camper, a woman, successfully fled the attackers. Police inquiries are continuing, and more arrests are likely.
