Teen boys arrested over Adelaide home invasion spree

Police have swooped on three teenagers accused of a wave of home invasions in the Adelaide suburb of Brighton.

The boys, including a 13-year-old from Ingle Farm and two boys from Dover Gardens, aged 15 and 16, prompted a full-scale operation after police received reports of five home invasions, between 1.30am and 4.30am today.

Resident Monique McCulloch was among the victims who said her handbag was stolen during the robbery.

"I'm a bit still rattled about it really thinking that somebody's come through - taken what they like," she said.

"My eldest daughter heard them laughing out the front of the yard."

Another resident, Jo Patterson, has been left with major damage to her home after the teenagers allegedly ran across her rooftop.

"It's the most terrifying thing that could happen to any family," she said.

"It's appalling, I can't really comprehend, it's disgraceful."

The teenagers have all been charged and will face court later today.
