Why Were These Teens Smoking a Bong on a Rooftop?

What makes two teenage girls climb onto a rooftop in a busy Sydney mall and openly smoke a bong? Shocked pedestrians in Chatswood Mall watched as the pair sat on top of Bong Warehouse, waving at passersby and even tossing objects to grab attention. 

Photos captured the teens casually lighting up, seemingly unfazed by the growing crowd below. As questions swirl about how they got up there and why authorities took so long to respond, this bizarre incident has left many wondering—what really happened on that rooftop?

Teens Shock Sydney by Smoking a Bong on a Rooftop

Sydney’s Chatswood Mall became the scene of an unexpected spectacle when two teenage girls were spotted smoking a bong on the roof of Bong Warehouse. In broad daylight, they sat casually with their legs dangling over the edge, completely unbothered by the growing crowd below.

Eyewitnesses reported that the teens actively engaged with passersby, waving at pedestrians and even throwing objects to get their attention. Some onlookers were amused, while others were shocked by their blatant disregard for public decency and safety. Given the mall’s high foot traffic and bustling market stalls below, the incident quickly became a public concern.

The event raises serious questions about youth behavior, risk-taking, and the growing trend of public stunts for attention. Was this an act of rebellion, a prank, or something more? As photos circulated online, discussions about security, law enforcement response, and teenage recklessness gained traction.

Graffiti-Covered Rooftop Raises Security Concerns

The rooftop where the teens were spotted is covered in graffiti, suggesting it has been accessed before. This raises concerns about how easily people can climb onto the building without restriction. With no visible barriers or deterrents, the area seems vulnerable to trespassers, making it a potential hotspot for risky behavior.

Pedestrians who witnessed the incident questioned how the girls managed to get up there unnoticed. If two teenagers could reach the rooftop so effortlessly, what stops others from doing the same? The lack of security measures not only put the girls at risk but also highlighted a larger issue—how safe are commercial buildings from unauthorized access?

Was This a Public Stunt or a Defiant Act?

The boldness of the two teenagers has left many wondering—was this a planned stunt for social media attention, or simply an act of defiance? Their casual demeanor, despite being in full view of a crowded shopping area, suggests they weren’t afraid of getting caught. One of the girls even posed for a photo, giving a thumbs-up while holding the bong, further fueling speculation that they wanted to be seen.

This incident highlights a growing trend of risky public behavior among teenagers. With social media rewarding shocking content, some may be driven to pull off dangerous acts just to gain online attention. Others see it as rebellion—a way to challenge authority without immediate consequences. Regardless of the motive, the ease with which they carried out this stunt raises concerns about how such behavior is becoming more common in public spaces.

Police Response and Unanswered Questions

Despite witnesses alerting authorities, there was confusion over how long it took for police to respond—if they arrived at all. Some pedestrians expressed frustration, questioning why the teenagers were able to stay on the rooftop for nearly half an hour without intervention. Given the public nature of the incident, many expected a quicker response to prevent potential danger.

NSW Police later confirmed that inquiries into the situation are ongoing, but no immediate action was taken at the scene. This raises concerns about how similar incidents will be handled in the future. Possible steps to prevent rooftop trespassing and ensure public safety include:

• Improving building security – Adding barriers, locks, or alarms to prevent unauthorized rooftop access.
• Increasing police presence – Faster response times to public disturbances to deter risky behavior.
• Stronger consequences for trespassing – Enforcing stricter penalties for those caught accessing restricted areas.
• Encouraging community awareness – Educating businesses and pedestrians on reporting safety risks more effectively.

With no clear consequences in this case, the incident leaves lingering concerns about how authorities will address similar situations moving forward.
