South Australia Police have identified a man seen in a video seriously injuring a wombat as a member of the South Australia Police.
Commissioner Grant Stevens said today, “I viewed the video this morning and immediately instigated an investigation into this incident. I find the actions portrayed in the footage to be totally abhorrent and unacceptable.
“I am aware of the community outrage regarding this matter.
“I want to reassure everybody that the actions in the video do not align with the values and behaviours I expect from my employees, nor does it align with community standards. Numerous employees of South Australia Police have also expressed to me that they, too, find the footage detestable and not consistent with their values.”
