Police have arrested two teenagers after they were allegedly caught breaking into cars at Gulfview Heights overnight, according to SA Police.
Just aft 12.30am on Monday 17 July a resident in Riverbank Parade alerted police to a group of people arriving in a silver Subaru wagon and interfering with cars parked in the street. The suspects were disturbed by an occupant of a nearby home and ran off leaving the Subaru wagon behind.
Patrols searched the area but were unable to locate the five suspects. A short time later, patrols were called back to Riverbank Parade after two of the suspects returned to the Subaru and were detained by local residents until police arrived.
A 16-year-old girl from Greenwith and a 17-year-old boy from South Plympton were arrested and charged with illegal interference of a motor vehicle and theft. There were both bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Youth Court on 25 August.
Investigations are continuing into the three remaining suspects.
