Two Teens Charged Over 19 Property Crimes Across Brisbane's South

Two Brisbane teenagers have been charged with 19 property-related offences following a string of alleged break-ins and vehicle thefts across the city's southside.

Detectives from Dutton Park and Upper Mount Gravatt allege the offences were committed over a three-day period between January 25 and January 27, with a group targeting homes and vehicles while armed.

Police allege several vehicles were stolen during the spree, including a grey 2013 Lexus IS300H, blue 2013 Toyota Camry, white 2019 BMW X3, and a silver 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. All vehicles have since been recovered.

The alleged offences occurred at multiple locations across Brisbane's southern suburbs, including Tarragindi, Cannon Hill, Underwood and Woolloongabba.

Following investigations, police located and arrested the two teens at a residence in Rochedale South on January 28.

A 15-year-old boy from Salisbury has been charged with 14 offences, including four counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, multiple attempted break-ins at night while armed and in company, entering premises to commit indictable offences, and fraud-related charges.

A 14-year-old boy from Ellen Grove has been charged with five offences, including attempted break-in while armed in company, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, entering premises to commit an indictable offence, and fraud.

Both teenagers appeared before the Brisbane Children's Court on January 29.

Police say investigations are ongoing and are urging anyone with information, CCTV, or dashcam footage that may assist to contact police.
