Boy, 13, charged for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktail on Southern Expressway A 13-YEAR-OLD boy has been charged after a bottle of fuel was allegedly set alight and thrown on to the Southern Expressway at Hackham West. A police patrol spotted two boys near the Honeypot Rd overpass acting suspiciously about 5.30pm yesterday. It will be alleged they set a bottle of fuel on fire and threw it on to the Southern Expressway. The bottle did not hit any vehicles and no one was injured. Police spoke with the boys and one, a 13-year-old from Hackham West, was charged with throwing a prescribed object at vehicles. He was refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court today. South Coast Local Service Area officer-in-charge Superintendent Graeme Adcock said the incident had the potential to be very dangerous. "Acts such as these are of huge concern to police," he said. The potential for someone to be killed if not seriously injured is high and in this case, we are lucky the object didn't hit any cars. Police will continue to patrol the bridges and other vantage points where objects can be thrown on to the Southern Expressway. We also work with other agencies that work on the expressway or monitor traffic travelling on the expressway in order to prevent or detect this type of behaviour. Any person engaging in this practice has a high probability of getting caught.
