Cops to target Byron Bay schoolies

A BIG police operation will target Byron Bay as thousands of revellers descend on the northern NSW town to celebrate schoolies.

Schoolies began in Queensland on Sunday and has its start in NSW this Saturday, with Byron Bay expecting about 10,000 school leavers to hit town through until December 1.

Police said a highly visible operation including local cops, riot squad, dog unit, mounted unit and highway patrol would be targeting Byron Bay.

The operation will target alcohol-related offences, illegal drug use and supply, and anti-social behaviour.

It'll be focused in and around pubs and clubs, car parks and beaches and criminal behaviour, police said.

Tweed and Byron Police Detective Superintendent, Stuart Wilkins, urged school leavers visiting the area to act responsibly.

"Alcohol impairs your judgment and leads to poor decision-making, so know your limits and don't take risks that could lead to you becoming a victim of crime or an offender," he said in a statement.

"Most importantly, if at any time you think something is not right or you need urgent assistance, call Triple Zero."
