WA Police has been slammed by the Corruption and Crime Commission for its bungled handling of the unlawful arrest of a 14-year-old Aboriginal girl in 2022.

The girl was walking home from a friend’s house late at night pushing her electric scooter that had run out of battery not far from her home when she was arrested by officers in an unmarked police car.

She had done nothing wrong, but it took three internal investigations before action was taken against the officers who arrested and handcuffed her in action the CCC called “unlawful, unreasonable, oppressive and unjust.”

More to come.
