Last month, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions charged five juveniles with serious offenses. A 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man face allegations of aggravated burglary and theft after they reportedly broke into the home of a 76-year-old woman, stealing a television, household appliances, FJD $500, and AUD $250.
In another case, three 17-year-old boys have been charged with aggravated burglary, theft, and receiving stolen property. The trio is accused of invading a school property, where they allegedly made off with five laptops and a sound system speaker.
Additionally, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy have also been charged with aggravated burglary and theft. They are believed to have entered the residence of a 46-year-old man and stolen a laptop, a chainsaw, and a mobile phone.
