Alice Springs business owner Darren Clarke has revealed his grim concerns for the popular tourist town as youth crime continues to skyrocket despite desperate calls for help.
A passionate Alice Springs resident and business owner has warned the town could be in trouble as rampant youth crime threatens to drive locals and tourists away.
In a major incident last week, a young man died when an allegedly stolen vehicle he was a passenger in crashed, with the car flipping on him when he was on the window. “The alcohol problems out here, the drug problems we have here are spilling out on the streets, I just don’t know where it stops. Mr Clarke said he feared the problem was only going to worsen further before improving and suggested the town could be turned upside down completely with people wanting to avoid the area.
