Arrest at Walkerville

Just before 4.15am on Thursday 12 November, police were called to Dyson Road following reports a group of people were looking into vehicles and trying door handles.

When patrols responded to the area, they spotted four people on the oval adjacent Vale Street. The group immediately ran off on seeing police but were all quickly tracked down.

Following investigations, a 14-year-old boy from Port Augusta was arrested and charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle and breach of bail. He was refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court this morning.

Officers also discovered a Kia SUV parked in the nearby car park which was reported stolen from Torrensville the night before.

Police are investigating if the stolen car is linked to the group.

Anyone with information on the incidents or awakes this morning to find their vehicle interfered with, please come forward and contact police.
