A teenager who carjacked a vehicle in Shepparton used a knife to frighten people, and posted about driving a stolen car online, court documents have revealed.

Shakur Sutton, 18, pleaded guilty to five charges in Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday during a committal mention.

On September 20, 2025, Sutton stole a vehicle by putting a person in fear of force while in possession of a knife.

He was also charged with aggravated carjacking on bail, driving unlicensed and driving at a dangerous speed.

On the same day in Seymour, Sutton posted material that showed or indicated an offence, being driving a stolen vehicle, had been committed.

The matter will next appear at the Melbourne Koori County Court for a directions hearing.

Sutton, who appeared in court from custody, made no application for bail.
