Three juveniles arrested after Latham burglaries

Three juveniles will be summonsed to appear at the ACT Children’s Court in relation to two burglaries in Latham and stealing a motor vehicle.

About 4.20pm yesterday (Wednesday, 2 October 2019) police responded to a report of a green Hyundai Accent being in Latham driven by two young people.

When police located the vehicle, three young people attempted to flee. They were apprehended a short time later and taken to Belconnen Police Station.

ACT Policing will allege that all three youths admitted their involvement in two burglaries in Latham yesterday.

Police will also allege that a 12-year-old boy was in possession of stolen property and had been driving the Hyundai, and that a 15-year-old girl had also been driving the Hyundai.

Police have seized the Hyundai, which contained property stolen from the two burglaries. The car will be subjected to further examination.
