Channel 9 Filming "Elders Patrol" - Mount Druitt

Mount Druitt is full of good and great stories that are happening from within each house, from neighbour to neighbour and communitnd community.

Image result for Channel 9Tonight we have something to tell you that a majority of community members are not aware of. The Samoan community have body a group of Elders patrolling hot spot areas in  and  surrounding Mount Druitt right through to St Marys.

Apparently, they travel in groups of at least six and from Hassal Grove, Plumpton, Rooty Hill, all suburbs within Mount Druitt right through to St Marys. They patrol at night both men and  ladies to  look after the Samoan youths, to make sure that they are not disturbing the community and stay at peace at night.

Channel 9 was filming this group as you will see yourself as this group has been doing this for 10 years. This is good that these 'Elders Patrol' are making sure the young representatives of the Samoan community do not get themselves in trouble, especially if they are  out at night  walking around the streets!
