Youth charged with 36 counts of theft

A Geraldton youth has been charged with 14 counts of burglary and 36 counts of stealing.

Police said the charges were laid following an investigation into burglary and stealing offences at a Geraldton caravan park between June and September this year.

The 16-year-old was arrested after police executed a search warrant at a West End address last Tuesday and allegedly recovered a large amount of stolen property.

He has also been charged with one count of criminal damage.

He will appear before Geraldton Children’s Court at a later date.
