ACT Policing has charged two teenagers with theft and attempted aggravated robbery after executing two simultaneous search warrants in Kambah last night (Wednesday, August 21).

Around 7.30pm, Criminal Investigations officers executed the warrants after investigating an attempted aggravated robbery at the Tuggeranong Skate Park in which it is believed the two teenagers were involved.

During the execution of the warrants, officers seized a number of items which are suspected to have been stolen.

At the conclusion of the warrants, the two male teenagers, both aged 14, were conveyed to the ACT Policing Watch House and charged.

One of the teenagers will face the ACT Children’s Court this morning, while the other was released after being granted bail.

I’d be very surprised if a 14yo already has an Ice or Heroin habit, so what could possibly explain such behaviour? At least they don’t have easy access to guns in this country like in Oklahoma.

You must be new here. Ever been to Claymore?

No, i haven’t, but wherever it is, it is not relevant to relatively affluent Canberra.

What amazed me was that the court was told that he had absconded 93 times since 2008 ie. since the age of 9 which would clearly indicate that he comes from a terribly dysfunctional background.

….or ‘society’ allowed him to slip through cracks.

How Canberran.

Gosh I wish I could still be that optimistic.

Look no further than their parents.

We now have news that the 14 year old attempted to rob another boy at knife-point and apparently thought the whole thing was rather amusing when he faced magistrate Fryar. An absolute career criminal in the making.

They shall be sent to bed without their supper.
