ACT Policing is seeking the public’s assistance to identify five youths who may be involved in damaging the ACT Memorial on Ainslie Place, near London Circuit, last month.
On 28 December (2024), the large stone sphere in the centre of the memorial was dislodged from its housing.
On 29 December, the sphere was removed from its housing, causing damage to glass panels around the base, and on 30 December, the sphere had again been dislodged and had been pushed several metres towards the Canberra Centre.
About 1.50pm on Saturday, 28 December (2024) five boys were captured on CCTV cameras near the memorial before running away.
