Youths arrested in Civic
Thursday, 17 July 2008
ACT Policing has arrested two youths today (July 16) as they attempted to allegedly steal a vehicle from a Civic car park.
The 15-year-old Curtin male and a 14-year-old Narrabundah male are alleged to have broken into the Hyundai Excel in a Constitution Avenue car park about 3pm today before attempting to drive the vehicle away.
Responding to a report of suspicious persons in the area, ACT Policing patrols reacted quickly and stopped the vehicle in the car park. The 14-year-old then fled the vehicle on foot before being arrested on nearby Coranderrk Street.
The 15-year-old was arrested inside the vehicle.
The two youths will face the ACT Children’s Court tomorrow (July 17); the 14-year-old charged with taking a motor vehicle without consent, the 15-year-old with riding in a motor vehicle without consent.
