14.01.2022 Broome Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man after a marine incident this morning, Monday 7 September 2020, at a mooring at Gantheaume Point, just off Broome. About 12:45am four men, all believed to be aged in their 70s, were on board a vessel at the mooring when they commenced making marine radio calls to alert authorities that their vessel had started to take on water. The Water Police Coordination Centre intercepted the radio calls and c...ontacted the crew, however lost communication with them. It is believed the situation escalated to the point where the vessel began to sink and the men were unable to access their tender that was tethered to the moored vessel, and they attempted to swim to a nearby vessel. Tragically, only three of the men survived. The fourth man was unable to make it to the other vessel and was later located deceased by volunteers from Marine Rescue Broome, who had deployed two rescue vessels to the location. A Broome-based search helicopter which had been activated by AMSAs Rescue Coordination Centre in Canberra was stood down. Broome Police attended the scene and recovered the deceased man from the water. The three survivors were taken to Broome Hospital as a precaution. A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

13.01.2022 KIMBERLEY COVID-19 UPDATE Good afternoon to everyone in the Kimberley, this is another update on where we are at with the management of the COVID virus across the Kimberley. The WA Country Health Services are the lead agency on limiting the spread of the virus and they are doing a terrific job in preparing all health services and the community to be prepared if we have a positive case. The messaging for all of us remains the same, continue with good hygiene practices and main...tain social distancing, 1.5m away from others at all times and download the COVIDSafe App. Your Kimberley police still have a permanent presence on the WA/NT border at Kununurra. We are conducting many patrols along the Duncan and Tanami Roads checking for anyone entering without approval. We have cameras along those and other less frequented roads and will be taking a very firm line with persons entering our State without pre-approval. As I have advised before, we may prosecute and return persons back to the NT every time we find someone who has breached the border. We are aware of rumours from time to time about people entering without approval, please gather as much info about that when you can and advise police, we will follow up every rumour, we just need to know about it. Since it is a priority for all of us I can give you a commitment we will follow up every bit of info we receive. We have extra police across the Kimberley and more are on the way to manage and support those in self-quarantine (SQ), we work closely with the Department of Communities who also support those in SQ and it is pleasing to say that no-one has been breaching their 14-day lock down. We have teams checking interstate travellers where ever they are just to make sure everyones entry was approved, this means checking caravan parks, free camping locations and those travelling on our roads as part of our commitment to the Kimberley, we are taking this very seriously. We all know the COVID-19 virus has not gone away, but it can stay out of the Kimberley if we all keep well, get tested if you are ill and maintain social distancing. I hope your time in the Kimberley is exceptional for you, what a great place we are lucky to be in. Greg Crofts Superintendent Kimberley District
