Crimes Over Long Weekend: The allure of a long
weekend in NSW is hard to resist. Whether you're catching up
with mates, heading out of town, or just enjoying a well-earned
break, there's a buzz in the air. However, as the festivities
wind down, police reports tell a different story, one where risky
decisions and heightened tensions often lead to a spike in
offences. So, what are the most common crimes and offences after a
long weekend, and why do they happen?

launching high-visibility operations and enforcing double demerits to keep things in check.
