Two teens arrested for spate of car thefts and breakins

A couple and their three young children slept as teenage boys allegedly rummaged through their house before stealing their two cars at Beaumont overnight.

Two boys were arrested overnight after allegedly stealing three cars during multiple break-ins.

Beaumont resident Inbar Shapira said she woke to her two-year-old son crying in the early hours of Monday morning, and came downstairs to find him a dummy.

“I noticed all of the drawers of the hallway desk were open,” Mrs Shapira said.

“I looked outside and noticed there were no cars.

“It’s a terrible feeling.”

She and her husband Yinon checked outside and confirmed a Volvo and Nissan had been taken, before noticing thieves had raided their home stealing two laptops, an iPad and Mrs Shapira’s handbag and wallet.

It is understood the thieves entered the home through a doggie door while the couple and their three children including two girls, aged 7 and 8, and a boy, aged two, slept.

An hour after the break-in, police noticed a stolen Subaru SUV was seen driving on Albert St at Mile End about 3am Monday.

When they tried to stop the vehicle it sped off onto Kintore St.
The car was being followed by a black Volvo station wagon, which had been stolen during the earlier Beaumont break-in.

The Subaru and Nissan which belongs to Mrs Shapira were located a short time later at nearby Victoria St at Mile End.
