Teenage boys on the roof of a juvenile prison
At least three teenage boys have climbed onto the roof of Banksia Hill juvenile prison and begun throwing bricks at guards, according to 7NEWS Australia's report.
The aerial footage shows the boys walking and gesturing across the rooftops, with their faces blurred. They also appear to write on an air-conditioning unit. Below them, guards wearing helmets and carrying riot shields keep watch from ground level.
Banksia Hill is a youth detention centre in Canning Vale, Perth. In the brief report, the presenter points out a broken window but says no significant damage is visible across the complex. That observation is limited to what can be seen from the helicopter.
The presenter says it is not known how long the teenagers have been on the roof.
A juvenile prison in Canning Vale, Western Australia, for offenders aged 10–17. It opened in September 1997.
