A 16-year-old teenager has been refused bail twice by the court after being charged with 26 property-related offences on the Central Coast.
In April 2025, officers from Brisbane Water Police District Proactive Crime Team, under Operation Soteria, commenced an investigation into several reported aggravated break and enter and stealing motor vehicle offences in the Brisbane Water area.
Following inquiries, police arrested the 16-year-old boy at Gosford Police Station on Monday, June 30.
He was charged with a total of 26 offences – aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence (five counts), taken and drive conveyance (eight counts), commit S.154 offence and disseminate (post and boast – four counts), steal motor vehicle (seven counts), and unlicensed driver (two counts).
The teen was refused bail to appear before a children’s court on Monday, June 30, and was formally refused bail to appear before a children’s court on Friday, August 15.
Investigations continue under Operation Soteria which was established by NSW Police to address an escalation of violence in young offenders, focusing on aggravated break, enter and steal offences; stealing motor vehicles and ‘post and boast’ offences where social media is used to gain notoriety.
