MORNINGTON detectives last week charged three youths following an alleged theft and series of deceptions.
The trio allegedly stole a car on 21 August which they used to evade police. A credit card in the car was allegedly used in a number of deceptions in the Mornington area.
A 16-year-old from Mornington was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of obtaining property by deception and drug-related offences.
A 15-year-old, also from Mornington, was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, committing an indictable offence while on bail and drug-related offences.
A 15-year-old from Hastings was charged with theft of a motor vehicle and committing an indictable offence while on bail.
The three were bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.
