Cash, keys and an e-scooter were allegedly stolen in a series of break-ins across Brisbane that ended with a 13-year-old boy being arrested at Crestmead.
According to police, the boy was charged with more than a dozen offences, ranging from the serious assault of a public officer, to stealing and the unlawful use of a car.
“Initial information indicate that a group of four people allegedly attempted to gain entry to several properties on Tweeddale Circuit, Drewvale at 3.30pm on April 21 and were unsuccessful,” police said in a statement.
“They left in a black SUV.”
Later that evening and into the following morning, police allege the same group attempted to break-in to several properties in Coorparoo, Carina, Camp Hill and Holland Park West.
Keys, an e-scooter and a small amount of cash were allegedly stolen from some of the properties.
At about 9pm on 25 April, police arrested a 13-year-old boy.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Ben Henderson encouraged anyone with information that could assist with investigations to contact police.
“Everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes and neighbourhood,” he said.
“Police are dedicated to seeking justice for victims by holding perpetrators to account and strategically co-ordinate efforts to disrupt and prevent crime.”
Anyone that may have sighted the black SUV in the area between 3.30pm on 21 April to 5am on 22 April have been asked to contact investigators.
