Two morons from Auburn in Sydney's west have been busted shining a laser at....Polair.
So far, the eldest has been refused bail, but the youngest one was granted conditional bail. Hopefully the book gets thrown at the both of them...at 16 and 18, they know right from wrong. Time to pay for the crime.
There's been a few incidents in recent weeks when Rwy 07 is used for arrivals, but most of them seem to be coming from the Bexley area. With any luck it's the same two twits and the problem might go away until the next moron gets a hold of a laser.

Teens accused of shining laser pointer at plane and police helicopter
From: AAP April 05, 2010 1:08PM
TWO teenagers have been arrested after they allegedly shone a laser pointer at a commercial aircraft and a police helicopter last night.
Police will allege about 7.30pm (AEST) a commercial airliner was flying over the Auburn area in Sydney's inner west when a laser pointer was shone at the plane.
About 9pm (AEST), the crew of a police helicopter were doing patrols over Auburn after receiving reports of the earlier incident when it is alleged a laser pointer was also shone at them.
The Polair officers were able to identify where the laser pointer came from and police from Flemington Local Area Command attended Kulgun Ave, Auburn where they spoke to a group of five people.
Two boys aged 16 and 18 were arrested at the scene and a laser pointer was located and seized by police.
Both youths were taken to Auburn Police Station where they were each charged with acting with intent to prejudice safety of aircraft and the possession and/or use of a laser pointer.
The 18-year-old from Auburn was refused bail and is expected to appear at Parramatta Local Court today.
The 16-year-old from Berala was granted conditional bail to appear at Parramatta Children’s Court on Tuesday 27 April.
