Police classify Bondi egging of women as random, not antisemitic

Two teenage boys have been charged in connection with an egging incident involving a group of women in Bondi, Sydney, which police now believe was a random attack rather than an antisemitic act. Initially, investigators considered the possibility of a hate crime due to the women's Star of David necklaces, but later confirmed that the boys could not have identified the women from their car. The 16-year-old driver and his 14-year-old passenger were arrested after their vehicle, which contained egg cartons, crashed in Rose Bay. The older boy faces multiple charges, including driving a stolen vehicle, while the younger boy has been charged as a passenger in a stolen car. Police have since ruled out any links between this incident and recent antisemitic incidents in the area, including vandalism against Jewish targets. Strike Force Pearl, which was initially involved, is no longer investigating the matter.
