Supt Smith is urging teenagers who may have been involved to give their version of what happened 'before it gets diluted'.
He also said there were no safety concerns for the public as people are not being 'attacked at random'.

Farrier's lawyer, Dan Rawlings, told the Gold Coast Bulletin his client's recommendation for protective custody was 'due to safety concerns'.
Mr Rawlings did not elaborate on his reasons and also said it wasn't necessary for Farrier to have appeared in court.
Magistrate Joan White agreed to recommend protective custody for Farrier to Queensland Corrective Services.

Loving friends of the 17-year-old also flooded social media with their messages of love and affection for him.
'Rest in peace to one of the most beautiful, happy, and entertaining souls that lived throughout our day and age,' one friend wrote to Facebook.
Antonio Gatt told Daily Mail Australia his friend was a 'loving and caring boy' who always knew 'where and who to go to for help'.

Investigators were at Frascott Park in Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast on Thursday morning speaking to residents

'Never below us, never on top always beside. Never forgotten! Rest easy and so much love.'
Supt Smith is still urging anyone who may have seen something suspicious to come forward.
'We are keen to talk to anyone who was in the area at the time. Particularly anyone who may have been walking their dog or cars going past with dashcams,' he told reporters on Wednesday evening.
'It is unclear at the point what the cause of death is but it certainly looks like it is suspicious.
'There's conflicting versions how he got there and where he came from. So at this point it would be too early to say what happened.'
Acting Detective Superintendent Brendan Smith told reporters they were seeking two vehicles where two men got out before assaulting Harrison.
Officers are interested in speaking to a group of about 'seven or eight males', believed to be aged 16-17.
A postmortum is likely to take place on Friday.
Farrier did not make an application for bail and the matter will return to the court on September 19.
