Authorities have arrested the fifth offender in relation to the recent crime series that occurred in the Burdekin in January, charging a 14-year-old Home Hill youth with 21 offences while police opposed his bail.
The youth was the last of five arrests made in relation to a series of break and enter offences in the Burdekin during late January 2024.
The offences were alleged to have been committed on January 25 earlier this year, where six local businesses were targeted, including an electrical store on Queen Street, a bottle shop in Drysdale Street, a service station on Eighth Ave, a steel fabrication company on Breen Street, a tyre shop on Bruce Highway, and a convenience store on Chippendale Street.
In previous reports, an 18-year-old man was charged with multiple offenses on January 25, followed by a 15-year-old male, charged on January 26, as well as a 14-year-old male who was charged shortly after, on January 30.
In total, five offenders were charged with a total of 84 offences.
