TWO 14-year-old boys and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested over a series of burglaries, paywave offences and dangerous driving across Canberra.
On Tuesday, police received reports of two residential burglaries and one commercial burglary, in which credit cards, a silver Hyundai i30, a blue Isuzu ute and a white Hyundai Tucsan were stolen.
The credit cards were used in paywave offences throughout Canberra, and the vehicles failed to stop for police the following day.
Operation Toric located the suspected teens at a home in the Belconnen area.
On Wednesday afternoon, about 2.30pm, the two 14-year-old boys were arrested for their involvement, which put them in breach of existing bail conditions.
On of the boys has also been charged with possessing stolen property.
The 17-year-old boy was also arrested for paywave and vehicle offences.
Police say investigations are continuing into these offences and other similar offences throughout Canberra.
Anyone with information should contact police on 1800 333000.
