Two teenagers were arrested today after investigations into a western suburbs crime spree on Tuesday morning.
A 2025 Toyota RAV4, along with other items, including a handbag, bankcards and cash, was stolen during a break-in at a West Croydon address about 4.30am on Tuesday 3 June. Five suspects were captured on CCTV.
The stolen vehicle was found in Humber Street, Holden Hill about 5.40am that morning and towed away for forensic examination.
Vehicle tracking showed it had also attended a fast-food restaurant at Pooraka, providing investigators with CCTV of the suspects.
Investigations and further CCTV analysis then linked a number of illegal interferences and attempted break-ins in the early hours of Tuesday morning, between 2am and 4.30am, throughout Underdale, West Hindmarsh, Croydon and West Croydon.
About 12.30pm today, Friday 6 June, Youth and Street Gangs Task Force members attended a Christie Downs address and located two suspects.
A 16-year-old boy from Parafield Gardens and a 16-year-old boy from Holden Hill were arrested and charged with numerous counts of illegal use, aggravated serious criminal trespass and breach of bail.
They were both refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court on Tuesday 10 June.
Investigations are continuing.
