TWO Belconnen-area teenagers will face the ACT Children’s Court charged with burglary and motor vehicle offences.
About 2.50am on Sunday police allege the teenagers – two boys, one aged 14 the other 15 – broke into a home in Flynn while the residents were asleep, stealing a wallet, a phone and the keys to a white Mercedes Benz 200 CLA sedan. The teens left the area in the Mercedes.
Police further allege about 6am, the teens used a credit card from the stolen wallet to make a purchase at a service station in Charnwood.
Police reviewed the service station CCTV footage and immediately recognised the pair.
The 15-year-old has been charged with obtaining property by deception, driving a stolen motor vehicle, aiding/abetting a burglary, joint commission motor vehicle theft, and possession of stolen property.
The 14-year-old has been charged with burglary, theft, joint commission motor vehicle theft, and driving a stolen motor vehicle.
Police investigations into whether additional offenders were involved are continuing, and anyone with further information should call 1800 333000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.

![Canberra public servant Rowena Smith, joined five other women from across Australia in the All Women Simpson Desert Crossing on Motorbikes ride in August for a five-day fundraiser for the anti-bullying organisation Dolly’s Dream.
“Being a mum of two girls, I have seen, even in Canberra, the effects of what bullying does, […] and in many schools, it is rife,” says Rowena, who is in her 50s.
“And, unfortunately, teachers and parents are the last to know that this is actually happening."
