Two teenagers charged after alleged break-ins in Orange

Two teenage boys, aged 13 and 15, have appeared in court following a series of alleged break-ins in Orange on October 31.

Police responded to a service station on Bathurst Road at approximately 1:20 am, where two boys allegedly smashed a window, interfered with security cameras, and searched through store items. Later, at around 4:00 am, police were called to a fast food restaurant where a group of teenagers allegedly smashed a glass door, ransacked the property, stole items, and damaged electronic equipment.

The boys were arrested later that day at separate addresses. Both face multiple charges, including aggravated break and enter in company, unlawful entry onto enclosed land, and larceny. The 15-year-old was refused bail and is scheduled to return to court on November 9, while the 13-year-old was granted conditional bail and is due in court on November 17.
