Teen charged after NT break-ins

A 14-year-old boy who allegedly broke into homes and stole two cars and knives will appear in Darwin Youth Court on Tuesday.

Police say the boy and co-offenders broke into two homes in Palmerston last week, stealing two cars and several other items including a television, gaming console, and two knives.

The boy, who handed himself in to police on Monday, has been charged with stealing, driving unlicensed, and two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a motor vehicle.
