    There's a lad that rides one up along the footpath, through yards and the walking track near my old place in nothing but a pair of boardies - no shoes, shirt, helmet. If he comes off, he's gonna eat shit. The cops have been called on him countless times and still nothing.

    The attitude of these kids is sadly way too common.

    Yep. We've got them here too. There's ONE police station open at night for an area that covers all of this >

    (scroll down page for the list of towns)

    http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/about_u...ion/shoalhaven

    so zero chance of them getting anyone at night & it's a 40 min 000 wait in really urgent situations during daylight anyway (ie when a guy's chasing his pregnant girlfriend up & down the street with a butcher's knife). At least 2 young guys have been killed on our streets in the last 5 years - & we're a pretty tiny town. It's nowhere near as bad as Frankston etc because there's a lot of National Park here that they can destroy rather than peopole's yards, but they still cause a lot of drama & piss a lot of people off. It's a matter of time before one of them kills someone other than themselves.

    I'm kinda surprised a mini bike can do that much damage. Do they take the speed regulator off of it? We have one and it doesn't go more than 15 miles an hour. I also can't believe 2 people fit on one!

    He was going 30km/hr when he hit her, so roughly 15mph. I think it was just so unexpected that she took the full impact & hit her head on the concrete when she came down. If a single punch can make you hit your head that hard, an impact at 30km/hr will for sure

    A magistrate has indicated he will refuse bail to the teen charged*with riding the mini motorbike that hit and killed a mother outside a*Carrum Downs shopping centre.

    Caleb Jakobsson, 18, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court on*Tuesday, charged with culpable driving over the death of Andrea*Lehane, who was hit while crossing the road outside the shopping
    centre last Wednesday.

    Police told the court they opposed Mr Jakobsson's bail application because they believed*he had a disregard of road laws and could again get on a*motorbike, and magistrate Franz Holzer said he was leaning towards*remanding him in custody, based on what he had heard.


    Caleb Jakobsson, 18, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court.
    "As things currently stand I am unlikely to grant bail," Mr Holzer*said before adjourning the case to Wednesday.


    Ms Lehane, 34, a mother of two young children, suffered what her*family called "unsurvivable" brain damage and her life support was*turned off last Friday.

    Detective Senior Constable Leigh Miller told the court Mr Jakobsson*was riding a mini or "monkey" motorbike that overtook a car that had*stopped at a zebra crossing and hit Ms Lehane, who was thrown up to*seven metres.

    Detective Senior Constable Miller said investigators believed Mr*Jakobsson was riding at 30kmh in a 10kmh zone, and that although he*and his passenger fell from the motorbike after the crash, they
    quickly got back on and rode away.

    Their motorbike was one of four that rode through the car park, the court heard.

    Mr Jakobsson, who appeared in court in a red Nike T-shirt, last week*handed himself in to police and is also charged with dangerous driving*causing death, failing to stop at the scene, speeding and unlicensed*and unregistered driving.

    Two boys, one aged 17 and the other 16, faced a children's court on*Monday, charged with offences including reckless conduct endangering*life, unlicensed riding and having an unregistered vehicle. They are on bail and due to return to court in November.

    Detective Senior Constable Miller said Mr Jakobsson had admitted*offending to police and had been distressed during an interview.

    The*court heard he told police he panicked when he realised he hit Ms*Lehane and heard one of his group yell at him to flee.

    "He heard people yelling 'Go, go, go' and he decided not to stay," the
    detective said.

    He said Mr Jakobsson had shown a "complete disregard" for road laws*and that police were worried he would continue riding if granted bail,*which would further endanger the public.

    The motorbike involved in the crash had been abandoned in a park but*had not been recovered, the court heard.

    Defence counsel Jacob Kantor said the incident had been a "wake-up*call" for his client, and that the teen never wanted to ride again.

    He said one of Mr Jakobsson's aunts had offered to provide*accommodation at her rural property if he was released from custody,*and that a job opportunity existed.

    But Mr Holzer was concerned a rural setting might provide a temptation*for Mr Jakobsson to ride or drive without a licence.

    The teen's aunt*is expected to give evidence on Wednesday.

    The teen was supported in court by his parents, grandparents and other*family members. None of Ms Lehane's family were in court.


    Some other little shit has that bike now. Great

    Officially denied bail today

    Caleb Jakobsson remanded after facing court over death of Andrea Lehane
    THE teen charged over the hit-run death of mum Andrea Lehane was on a good behaviour bond for driving offences at the time, a court has heard.

    Police yesterday urged a magistrate not to release Caleb Jakobsson on bail because of fears for public safety.

    Police told the Melbourne Magistrates? Court the 18-year-old had hit Ms Lehane while riding a monkey bike, then left her for dead.

    The court heard in July he had been placed on a good behaviour bond for a string of charges including reckless conduct placing a person in danger of serious injury for another alleged motorcycle accident.

    Detective Leigh Miller told the bail application hearing a warrant for Mr Jakobsson's arrest was issued in August after he failed to show at court on unrelated charges.

    "Police strongly oppose bail," he said.

    "He has demonstrated a complete disregard for road rules and regulations designed to keep road users safe.

    "He presents an unacceptable danger to the safety and welfare of the public.

    "He has demonstrated a disregard of a court order to be of good behaviour in that he has committed a like offence to that for which the order was made."

    The court heard Mr Jakobsson turned himself into police only after a friend identified him as the rider who crashed into Ms Lehane last Wednesday.

    Detective Miller told the court Ms Lehane was thrown up to 7m after being hit by Mr Jakobsson, who was hooning at 30km/h in a 10km/h zone.

    She had been crossing at a pedestrian strip outside Carrum Downs shopping centre.

    The impact also threw Mr Jakobsson from his bike, but Detective Miller said he immediately got back on and rode away.

    Ms Lehane, a 34-year-old mother of two, died on Friday after her life support was switched off in hospital.

    Mr Jakobsson, who is facing multiple charges including culpable driving, later told police he was "sorry" about the tragic incident.

    He has been held in protective custody since because of fears for his safety.

    His lawyer, Jacob Kantor, told the court if released on bail he would go to live with an aunt on a semi-rural property more than three hours drive from Melbourne.

    Ms Lehane's family and friends have rallied around her husband, James, and the couple's two young children while around 3000 people attended a vigil at Carrum Downs on Sunday night.

    A FUND HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO HELP THE LEHANE FAMILY. DONATIONS CAN BE MADE AT ANY BENDIGO BANK BRANCH TO THE LEHANE FAMILY TRUST AND ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

    Contributions continued to flood in, with many in the community arranging fundraisers for coming weeks.

    Andrea will never be forgotten
    MR Lehane said a "mind blowing" candlelight vigil held on the weekend means her death didn't go unnoticed.

    Her grieving husband, James, took to Facebook on Tuesday night to thank thousands of mourners who turned up at the shopping centre car park on Sunday night to pay tribute to the life cut short.

    "Sunday night was mind blowing, hopefully Andy had a good view from up there and I know she would have been happy to see everyone.

    "When these two little tackers grow up they'll look at the evenings photos knowing their Mums life was not cut short unnoticed," Mr Lehane wrote above a photo of himself and his two children holding a note saying "Thank You!!"

    On Tuesday, Mr Lehane's brother Dylan also posted on a Facebook page established for the vigil, and said the family had received "extremely kind" offers for food, childcare support and money.

    He said Mrs Lehane's son, 2, and daughter, 3, would suffer from the loss of their mum.

    "It's going to be an inconceivable effort for my Brother to fill the void of his children's Mother," he said.

    Caleb Jakobsson granted bail

    Teenager charged over hit and run motorbike death of Melbourne mother granted bail

    A Melbourne teenager charged over a monkey bike crash that killed a mother of two has been granted bail.

    The Victorian Supreme Court heard 18-year-old Caleb Jakobsson was very tearful and "quite distressed" when a Youth Justice court adviser interviewed him last month before deeming him suitable for a youth justice bail program.

    Mr Jakobsson is facing charges including dangerous driving causing death and failing to stop and render assistance after allegedly crashing his monkey bike into 34-year-old Andrea Lehane in the car park of Carrum Downs Shopping Centre on September 23, then speeding off.

    Mrs Lehane suffered irreversible brain damage in the hit-and-run crash and died in hospital after her life support was turned off.

    A 17-year-old Seaford boy and a 16-year-old Carrum Downs boy have also been charged with a string of offences related to the crash, including reckless conduct endangering life and are on bail.

    During Mr Jakobsson's bail application today, Justice Phillip Priest heard a retired relative who lives in regional Victoria would take the teen into her home, which is 10km from the nearest town.

    She gave an undertaking to report Mr Jakobsson to police if he breached any bail conditions.

    "I'm responsible for this and if Caleb does not comply with his bail conditions I will not hesitate," the relative, who cannot be named, told the court.

    "I won't stand for it."

    Defence barrister Jacob Kantor told the court Mr Jakobsson had been kept in protection at the Melbourne Custody Centre, and it was his first time in custody.

    The Crown told the court Mr Jakobsson was charged with an extremely serious offence, and they had a strong case.

    Detective Senior Constable Leigh Miller said police had recovered the mini-motorbike after being contacted by Mr Jakobbson's mother and analysed it for possible damage and scrape marks consistent with a collision.

    "A reconstructionist has confirmed damage on the bike is consistent with those marks," he told the court.

    He said DNA swabs had been taken from the bike and there were three sets of CCTV footage relevant to the case.

    Hopefully he doesn't go straight out & grab his bike from whoever has it stashed




    Edit didn't read the article properly. At least he won't get his hands on that bike.

    I guess we'll know soon enough if his elderly relative has a mobility scooter.

    Caleb Jackobsson free again despite stretching curfew rules

    Alleged monkey-bike killer Caleb Jackobsson free again despite stretching curfew rules

    A teenager accused of killing a Melbourne mother in a mini-motorbike crash allegedly breached his bail and fled from police.
    But Caleb Jakobsson, who spent the last two nights in custody, has been given a second chance.
    The 19-year-old is on bail after being charged with culpable driving causing the death of Andrea Lehane, 34, who was struck on a zebra crossing at a shopping centre carpark in September last year.

    Mr Jakobsson was granted bail last year with conditions which included him staying with a relative in country Victoria and abiding by a nightly curfew between 10pm and 9am.

    Prosecutors on Thursday applied in the Melbourne Magistrate's Court to revoke the teenager's bail, alleging he had breached his curfew eight times.
    A relative, whom Mr Jakobsson was bailed to live with, reported the alleged breaches to police after the pair had an argument, the court heard.
    "That was the straw that broke the camel's back," Detective Sergeant Mark Patrick told the court.
    He said police had tried to arrest Mr Jakobsson as he was getting off a bus.

    "He got off the bus and ran from police and was located hiding in some bushes," Detective Sergeant Patrick told the court.
    The court heard Mr Jakobsson's relative was happy for him to return to the house.
    Magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg wanted the relative, who cannot be named, to attend court to give evidence about their relationship, but that person couldn't be reached on Thursday.

    The magistrate decided the teenager could stay on bail, but didn't dismiss the prosecution's application completely.
    Instead, Mr Rozencwajg added more conditions to Mr Jakobsson's bail that would require him to follow the directions of his relative and attend court for bail reviews, the first starting in May.

    Mr Rozencwajg will decide after that whether Mr Jakobsson can remain on bail.
    "It is remarkable you should not be complying to the letter with all your bail conditions," he told Mr Jakobsson.
    Mr Jakobsson is accused of striking Mrs Lehane with was hit by a so-called monkey motorbike as she crossed a pedestrian crossing at the Carrum Downs shopping centre, then speeding away.

    The nurse and mother of two died on September 25 last year when her family turned off her life support after being told she would not survive her brain injuries.
    Mr Jakobsson is due to face a committal hearing in July.

    Caleb Jakobsson faces court again for a NINTH breach of bail conditions

    The Melbourne teen accused of fatally striking a mother with his mini-motorbike is again at risk of having his bail revoked after a court heard evidence of another breach of his conditions.

    Jakobsson, 19, was bailed last October after being charged with culpable driving causing the death of Andrea Lehane, 34, who was hit on a zebra crossing at a Melbourne shopping centre car park.

    The details of the latest alleged breach have been suppressed and Caleb Jakobsson's bail has been continued until Monday when he will learn if he will have to surrender his freedom.

    Mr Jakobsson fronted the Melbourne Magistrates Court last month after the relative he is staying with, who cannot be identified, reported him to police for breaching his curfew.
    At the April hearing, Magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg added more conditions to Jakobsson's bail, including he attend court for regular reviews

    Detective Sergeant Mark Patrick gave evidence of another breach at the first of those reviews on Thursday. However he said it was committed last year, before the curfew breaches were reported.
    Prosecutor Cheri Lee told the court it was a 'flagrant' breach.
    'What you have is a flagrant disregard for orders made by the Supreme Court,' Ms Lee said.

    The teen's relative said she had failed to report Jakobsson's breaches, despite giving an undertaking to the Supreme Court that she would, because she was trying to show mercy.
    'I didn't think he was a threat,' she told the court on Thursday.
    'In every one of those instances he was somewhere local.'

    The court heard Jakobsson breached his curfew on January 24, twice in February, three times in March and three times in April.
    On one occasion he did not come home at all.
    Jakobsson is accused of striking Mrs Lehane with his mini-motorbike as she crossed a pedestrian crossing, then speeding away.
    The nurse and mother of two died on September 25 last year when her family turned off her life support after being told she would not survive her brain injuries.

    Magistrate Rozencwajg reserved his decision until Monday.

    Monkey-bike driver Caleb Jakobsson killed Andrea Lehane in 'insane moment of recklessness'
    By Emma Younger

    Updated 37 minutes ago
    The husband of a Melbourne mother-of-two killed when she was struck by a teenager riding a mini-motorbike has told a court of the tremendous loss caused by an "insane moment of unforgivable recklessness".

    Andrea Lehane, 34, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury when she was hit as she walked across a pedestrian crossing at a Carrum Downs shopping centre in 2015.

    The impact threw her almost 7 metres as the rider responsible for the crash, Caleb Jakobsson, sped away.

    The 20-year-old has faced a pre-sentencing hearing in the Victorian County Court after pleading guilty to culpable driving causing death and failing to stop.

    The court heard Jakobsson was unlicensed and riding a homemade motorbike which had no front brakes and was capable of travelling up to 125 kilometres per hour.

    Bystanders went to Ms Lehane's aid and she was flown to hospital, but was later declared brain dead.

    Her husband, James Lehane, told the court it was a cowardly and reckless crime that had stolen his wife and a devoted mother from their two young children.

    "This crime took Andy away for eternity in an insane moment of unforgivable recklessness," he said.

    "This girl was my one chance ... a chance that was pointlessly killed while shopping."



    Mr Lehane told the court their children, now aged four and five, would have faint memories of their mother at best.

    Defence barrister Kristie Churchill read a letter written by Jakobsson and addressed to Mr Lehane to the court.

    In it, Jakobsson apologised for the crash and the suffering he had caused.

    "I do understand what I've done and words can't describe how I feel," Ms Churchill read on his behalf.

    "I was a young kid making stupid choices."


    Jakobsson 'not evil but immature'

    The court heard Jakobsson's drug use had escalated while he was on bail and he had begun using ecstasy and methamphetamines.

    He had also driven a vehicle and drunk alcohol in contravention of his bail conditions.

    But Ms Churchill said he was not evil, but immature.

    "He was an 18-year-old child who made a terrible decision," she told the court.

    Jakobsson's defence submitted he should be sentenced to serve time in a youth justice centre.

    But prosecutor Diana Piekusis rejected that suggestion and instead called for him to be jailed in an adult prison.

    Jakobsson will be sentenced on May 31.

    Sorry. He's evil for leaving her there. "Immature" has nothing to do with leaving a Woman for dead. Fuck this guy.

    I just noticed the sentence wasn't put up here for the turd that killed Andrea Lehane.


    A man who fatally struck a woman with a monkey bike outside a shopping centre and left her dying on the road has been sentenced to seven years' jail, with a judge calling his actions "morally reprehensible".
    Andrea Lehane, 34, was thrown more than six metres when 18-year-old Caleb Jakobsson hit her with his home-made mini motorcycle, as she walked across a zebra crossing outside the Carrum Downs Shopping Centre on September 23, 2015.
    Monkey bike killer gets seven years' jail
    20-year-old Caleb Jakobsson is sentenced to seven years jail after fatally striking a woman on a home-made mini motorcycle.

    Jakobsson, now 20, fled the scene with his friends, leaving the mother of two on the road with severe brain injuries.

    She died in hospital days later. He later admitted his crimes to police.

    County Court Judge Jane Campton sentenced Jakobsson on Tuesday to seven years in an adult jail for culpable driving causing death and failing to stop immediately after an accident.

    She imposed a non-parole period of four years and disqualified him from applying for a licence for four years.

    "As a result of your negligent actions a young woman, who should have had the rest of her life to look forward to, has met a traumatic death," Judge Campton said.
    "Her husband and two young children have been deprived of both a wife and a mother, and no doubt will suffer grief for many years to come."
    Jakobsson's decision to leave the scene was "morally reprehensible", and he should have known she had either been seriously injured or killed in the crash, she said.
    Judge Campton said this was a serious example of culpable driving given Jakobsson was travelling at more than twice the 10km/h limit over a pedestrian crossing on a motorbike he knew had a compromised brake system.
    The court heard the bike – which Jakobsson has said is a Thumpstar model – did not have front brakes and had to be stalled to turn the engine off.
    Jakobsson's lawyer previously argued he should be imprisoned in a youth justice centre, where the maximum sentence is three years.
    The maximum sentence for culpable driving causing death is 20 years' imprisonment and for failing to stop is 10 years' jail.
    The crime was frequently committed by young men, she said, which meant it was important that the sentence be used to deter others.
    While he was a young offender, his prospects for rehabilitation were "guarded", given he was immature and had committed offences on bail, including taking the drug ice.
    In his victim impact statement, Mr Lehane said: "Overnight this cowardly and easily avoidable crime left me a single parent to very young, innocent children.
    "None of this is something I could ever foresee or prepare for in any way."
    "In an instant this crime took Andy away for eternity.
    "Andy's natural expectation to live a reasonably long life was carelessly tossed away for the sake of cheap, reckless thrills."
