If you thought your Gen Y were all that and more!! This is what your younger brothers and sisters are up to

Saturday Night

ACT Policing officers were required to deploy road spikes in order to apprehend four juveniles in a stolen car on Saturday night (August 22).

Around 10.40pm, Tuggeranong General Duties police on patrol in Barraclough Crescent, Monash, attempted a traffic stop on a white Ford Laser. The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit ensued through Gowrie and Fadden.

Stop sticks were deployed in Fadden which deflated the two tyres on the driver’s side of the car, and the occupants then attempted to flee on foot. The pursuit was around six minutes in duration. The vehicle had been identified as stolen from a Gordon address earlier that evening.

Three juveniles – a 14-year-old boy, a 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl – were quickly apprehended. General Duties, Specialist Response and Security, and K9 teams then searched the surrounding area.

Another 14-year-old boy was later apprehended and will be charged with taking a motor vehicle without consent, driving without a licence, failing to stop, and reckless driving.

The other youths will be charged with riding in a stolen motor vehicle. All were released into the custodial care of their parents and will be summonsed to appear in court on a later date.

Monday/Tuesday

Four teenagers, the oldest just 14, have been arrested after a 45-minute car chase through Canberra's southern suburbs. Road spikes were needed to end the chase after a stolen Toyota Tarago reached speeds up to 120 kilometres an hour, police said. A 14-year-old youth, from the southern Canberra suburb of Kambah, will face the ACT Children's Court today charged with car theft.

Another 14-year-old, also from Kambah, will appear in the same court charged with car theft, driving while unlicensed, negligent driving and failing to stop once directed. Two other occupants, both aged 13, will be summoned to appear in court on charges of riding in a stolen car.

The chase began shortly after 1am last night, when police on patrol in the southern suburb of Mawson tried to conduct a traffic stop check on the Tarago. It allegedly accelerated away, leading police through eight Canberra suburbs.

Police set down road spikes ahead of the vehicle in Ashley Drive, Richardson, in Canberra's far south.

lol, i call bull on the second story.. the tarago accelerated away.. i have driven a couple different models and i cant state that this would never happen

Also getting a tarago up to 120kmph on anything but a highway is no easy task

Someone really needs to sort these loosers out, I'm no old fuddy myself but really todays youth have absolutely no respect... they know they can get away with these antics over and over again and teh worst they are going to get is a slap on the wrist...

It's just shit.

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

i call bull on both stories...

That sort of shenanigans only happens on North side.

cause its shit.

South side is the best.

Hope the coppers gave them the Yellow Pages after catching the lil scrotes.

And releasing them into the custodial care of their parents? HAHA Puhlease! They should have spent the night in lock up.

Yeah I bet they only get a slap on the wrists, or "counselling"... frustrating for the cops that caught them, for the owners of the stolen cars, and for the rest of us that have to worry about our stuff getting pinched all the time cos of little shits like this!

[TiTAN]

they need to leave them in a cell for a few days with "bubba" so they can get friendly (i also like the middle east approach to theft an eye for an eye and a few fingers for a car). i wonder how many more cars they will steal if it means they actualy get punished.

Afterthoughts on this topic.

- Had either of these two short police pursuits ended in the cars crashing and death/s of any of the children there would be a public outcry against the police for pursuing the juveniles.

- Mawson, Richardson and Kambah are the south canberra suburbs with the highest concentrtion of "fiends" and hence criminal activity. Also where these criminal juveniles in these car chases reside. Their parent and/or step parent will most likely be addicts and why these kids are out stealing and joy riding. What a good example these parents set.

- Most of these kids 14 and under were out joy riding after 10pm to 1am in the morning. Great way to raise your kids.

A 14yo addict in banks sells for his parents. Some of the family are generaly in lock-up at the same time. They have a roster type system to keep the business going when they're caught. FFS!

wooooordss!! younger generations are getting spoiled by the law. in the other hands, their parent's lack of education also responsible for these hoon actions.

i live in states for a decade, i'll tell u something their youngsters are well known for notorious and misbehavior. lucky for them cops working hard to draw the lines of justice. now, US becomes the biggest police states of the world (legal drinking age in all states are 21? wtf?? u cant even leave an opened bottle of beer inside the car even though ure not drunk).

i dont wanna sacrifice lots of good people freedom for a couple of bad hoons stupid behaviour, but sometimes i agree that aussie cops REALLY need to draw a strict line even for misdemeanor offense. otherwise these kids will never learn something.

[stewari]

anyone that steals a car should go to jail for at least a year and i think more then that. teach these little f**kers whats wrong and whats right. what id like to see is if a kid stole my car and was releast the next day id be waiting out the front of his house the next day.
