A third teenage boy has been charged following an investigation into multiple robbery and traffic-related offences in the state’s central west.
Following extensive investigations into the theft of two Tesla’s, multiple break ins and assault, police have arrested a 17-year-old boy at a business on Whylandra St, Dubbo on Thursday, November 23.
He was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with being carried in a stolen vehicle and possessing prohibited drugs.
The boy was granted conditional bail by a children’s court and is to reappear on January 8, 2024.
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, were arrested earlier this month after they allegedly forced entry into a home on Royal Pines Close, Dubbo, and allegedly stole two white Tesla’s.
Just after 3am on November 15, police approached a Tesla parked on Illoura St, when it attempted to mount the kerb before it crashed into the front of a police vehicle.
The occupant fled the vehicle on foot.
Two police officers were injured and taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for treatment.
About 3.15am, police were patrolling Oxley Circle, when they attempted to stop the second vehicle.
When the Tesla failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated. It was terminated due to safety concerns.
The Tesla was later located abandoned in a laneway between John Glen Pl and Pegasus Pl – both vehicles were seized for forensic examination.
Between 2am and 6am the following morning, police received multiple reports of aggravated break ins at two units in a retirement village and a business on Depot Rd and Victoria St.
About 9.15am the same day, officers attended a home in Dubbo and arrested the 15 and 16-year-old boy.
The younger boy was charged with four counts of aggravated break and entering with a serious intention to steal while in company, a lesser charge of breaking and entering, stealing and being carried in a motor vehicle, predatory driving, driving recklessly, assaulting a police officer and breaching bail.
The older boy was charged with three counts of aggravated break and entering with a serious intention to steal, one count of breaking and entering in company with intention to steal and a lesser charge of breaking and entering.
He was also charged with stealing and being carried in a stolen vehicle and breaching bail.
The two boys were formally refused bail by a children’s court.
Investigations under Operation Regional Mongoose continue.
