A teenage boy has been charged after multiple break ins at the Strand.
The 13 year old boy is accused of breaking into two sporting clubs, a resturant and a cafe in North Ward on Tuesday.
The Mount Louisa boy has been charged with eight offences – and was due to face court on Wednesday.
Townsville District Detective Inspector Jason Shepherd said these arrests are due to local officers being proactive when investigating incidents and patrolling the streets.
“Detectives from the Property Crime Unit (PCU), Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) and State Flying Squad work collaboratively in our investigation centre to coordinate a targeted policing response to investigate crimes and put offenders before the courts.
“Our goal is to make the community safer and also feel safer.”
