Over little more than a week, a young criminal went on a luxury car theft romp across the northern beaches . He cased or stole two Volkswagens, a Range Rover, a Mercedes, a BMW X3 and a humble Mazda CX8, which was later found with a coffee cup, an adidas jacket and a jelly snakes bag inside.
One night, he picked up a mate (who’d purloined a Volkswagen from Castle Cove) and drove his stolen VW Polo through suburban Balgowlah at 120km/h before hurtling along the wrong side of Military Road in Mosman at 100km/h, court documents show. He was eventually arrested by a strike force specialising in one of Sydney’s most troubling pastimes for wayward youths: breaking into houses, mostly in rich suburbs, stealing the keys to high-performance European vehicles, and going on life-threatening joyrides, which are filmed and posted on social media. Some then sell the cars to organised crime networks for drive-by shootings and kidnappings
