ROCKINGHAM Detectives, with the assistance of Regional Investigation Unit officers, have charged two boys over a number of recent incidents in the South Metropolitan District.

It will be alleged that the two boys committed a number of aggravated burglaries, stealing motor vehicles as well as other offences throughout October.

Yesterday, police attended an address in Parmelia where both boys were in the rear yard.

It will be alleged the boys ran away from police over several fences and a 16-year-old attempted to fight officers, before being arrested nearby. A 14-year-old boy was arrested by police without further incident.
