Wanted teen arrested in Dubbo

A teenager wanted on 14 outstanding arrest warrants for property and prohibited weapon-related offences in the state's Central West has been charged.

On Thursday 21 April 2022, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District commenced an investigation into the whereabouts of a teenager wanted on a number of outstanding arrest warrants.

Following enquiries, about 10.15pm yesterday, officers attended a home on Champagne Drive, Dubbo, and arrested an 18-year-old man inside the home.

He was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with fourteen outstanding arrest warrants for property and prohibited weapon-related offences and breach of bail.

The teen was refused bail to appear at children's court today (Friday 22 April 2022).

Orana Mid-Western Police District Commander, Superintendent Danny Sullivan, said police will continue to target those who deliberately cause harm to the community and ensure that they are held to account.

"We committed to reducing crime and the fear of crime across our District, and will use intelligence-driven deployments to place officers at the right place at the right time," Supt Sullivan said.

"Anyone who chooses to break the law should expect to be arrested and put before the courts."
