Police Won't Charge YouTubers Who Snuck Into AFL Grand Final By Wearing High-Vis

Police in Western Australia have revealed they won't be charging the two men who snuck into the AFL Grand Final.

The lads behind the channel misfitminds simply wore high-vis clothing on the big day and managed to get past security at Optus Stadium.

They filmed the whole thing and shocked viewers when they revealed just how easy it was to get inside with the easiest excuse.

One of the men said to the camera: "With tickets being four hundred and fifty bucks, we're sneaking in and you're coming with us."

They picked up their high-vis from Big W and claimed the bright clothing can get you into any situation. The duo also grabbed some basic, colourful wrist bands in case that was needed to get past security.

When they rocked up to to the Perth stadium, they tried to get in by just jumping the gate in their civilian clothing, however, when that didn't work, they decided to try the high-vis option.

Pushing a classic dolly around, they convinced a security guard that they needed to use the service lift. It was as simple as that.

The elevator brought them to the right floor and they simply stepped out, dropped off the dolly, got out of their high-vis gear and proceeded to watch the AFL Grand Final with a few beers.

Posting the results of their tricky operation, however, attracted the wrong type of attention.

WA Police said the pair was under investigation for their stunt and they could have been charged for fraudulently sneaking into Optus Stadium.

However, Acting Commissioner Col Blanch has revealed they won't face any penalties.

"That's not something I believe we're going to progress from a criminal perspective," he told 6PR Radio. "We don't want people entering through tight security arrangements - Optus Stadium will be improving their security.

"Technically there could be an offence there but what is in the public interest here is to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

"We can't endorse it but it's not something we want to be putting through our court system."
