Police in South Australia say there is “no excuse” for holding gender reveal burnout parties after a spate of of dangerous videos appeared online.
In one video broadcast live to social media, a gold Ford sedan can be seen circling on a public road as specially-created tyres spew pink smoke into the air.
Children and onlookers are standing just metres away as a crowd forms to watch the burnout.
South Australian Police Minister Vincent Tarzia said the hoon behaviour was endangering the lives of others.
“These people should be ashamed of themselves,” Mr Tarzia said.
“This is absolutely idiotic, moronic behaviour. Somebody could have been killed here. So much could have gone wrong.”
Police have told 9News they are speaking to a number of people involved in the video, and they can expect the “full force of the law”.
Officers labelled the behaviour “stupid”, “irresponsible” and added “there is no excuse” for this activity.
