A woman who tried to burn down her sister-in-law’s property was among 16 people including two police officers and a juvenile charged with non-sexual offences in July.

The officer aged 34 years was cleared after his 33-year-old wife admitted that the allegations were false. The second officer who is 49 years of age was charged with damaging property.
A man also in his late 40s who assaulted his 38-year-old wife was charged with three different counts including criminal intimidation.
