LOCAL police have charged a retired Catholic brother over the alleged historical indecent assaults of school children in Dural and Sydney’s inner west.

Between 1972 and 1981, four boys – all aged 12 at the time- were allegedly indecently assaulted while on camp at Dural, or at schools in Strathfield and Lidcombe.

In June 2013, police from Kuring-Gai Local Area Command were alerted to the alleged incidents and commenced an investigation.

Following inquiries, a 75-year-old man was arrested at Strathfield just before 9.30am on Tuesday.
