Queensland is once again in the news for youth crime, with footage showing kids speeding through suburbs and running away from police in the far north of the state.
Following a string of thefts that put the police, the public, and the offenders themselves in danger, ten youngsters are in detention and at least three more are still at large.
After being in the passenger seat of a car during a carjacking in Brisbane, a fifteen-year-old boy was left for dead.
When the adolescent driver lost control, the vehicle spun out of control and collided with a post.
He was “lucky to be alive” following the “horrific” impact, according to witnesses.
Beckett Road was littered with bits of the destroyed Hyundai I30.
“The front door of the passenger side is down the road at the car’s up here,” a witness stated.
According to Mark News, the adolescent was hurled out of the passenger door.
After being brought to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, his status is still stable.
According to the residents, the friend who was driving the vehicle left.
Police assume that a terribly botched street race involved another car.
“There has been significant harm. Senior Sergeant Leonie Scott of the Queensland Police stated, “We think that speed may have played a role.
On Monday, July 1, it was reported that a black Hyundai I30, registered 905HO2 in Queensland, had been taken from a Lawton residence.
Nine children were arrested in a different Townsville incident as police were closing after they broke out of an allegedly stolen Isuzu.
It is believed that just last Tuesday, two of the teenagers were freed on bond for unspecified offenses.
There were several charges brought against the nine. With the oldest being fifteen, two of them were only twelve.
On July 5, it was reported that an Isuzu MUX had been taken from a Douglas location.
They are scheduled to appear before Townsville Children’s Court tomorrow after being placed under remand in custody.
