The military police used moral bombs to disperse a clandestine luau that took place on the popular Riviera de São Lourenço beach, in Bertioga, on the São Paulo coast, in the early morning of Friday, January 1. Hundreds of young people have gathered on the beach since the turn of the year.
A municipal decree totally prohibited access to the municipality’s beaches, including strips of sand, gardens and promenades, from 7:00 p.m. on the 31st to 7:00 a.m. this Friday.
According to the Military Police, residents of neighboring buildings on the boardwalk complained of crowds, alcohol consumption and fights between groups of young people.
The PM sent a troop to the site at 5 am.
According to the police commander, Captain Genivaldo Pereira da Silva Junior, the large number of people present forced the use of smoke bombs to disperse the crowd. According to Silva, the group dissolved without resistance. No one was injured and there were no arrests.
The Association of Friends of the Riviera de São Lourenço reported that the luau is not an event organized or coordinated by the entity.
The youth meeting has been taking place spontaneously for many years and, lately, it has been facilitated by the use of social networks.
Repeated complaints about disorder, loud noises, fights and drinking, in addition to illegal substances, led the association to strengthen surveillance and advise neighbors about the inconvenience of the practice, in addition to requesting support from public security authorities.
