Police have charged and cautioned a group of juveniles, aged between nine and 14 years old, after receiving reports of anti-social behaviour at the Mandurah Forum.
Mandurah Police Senior Sergeant Darren Hart said officers received reports of teenagers shoplifting between Friday, January 1 and Monday, January 4.
“With the help of Pinjarra Police, officers were able to apprehend the teenagers, aged 9 to 14,” he said.
Senior Sergeant Hart said a 13-year-old was charged with two counts of criminal damage, a 14-year-old was charged with three counts of stealing and a 10-year-old was charged with four counts of stealing.
They will be appearing in the Mandurah Children’s Court at a later date.
The nine-year-old was too young to be charged.
