An Indigenous leader in WA says participants in a program encouraging at-risk youth to stay away from crime were left "disturbed" when police arrived and arrested three teenagers in front of the group. The boys have been charged with several aggravated burglary and stealing charges, and police say body-worn camera footage of the arrest showed calm, respectful interactions. But Aboriginal Legal Service of WA chief Wayne Nannup said it was not the time or place.
