Juvenile crime is making a worrying post-pandemic comeback in south-east Queensland, with police saying a small group of offenders is responsible for nearly half the crime occurring.There has been a steep increase in youth committing unlawful entry and unlawful use of a motor vehicle offencesFewer than 400 juveniles are responsible for nearly half the crime, police say
Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the issue of young people dangerously driving stolen cars was a particularly frightening trend, putting both themselves and other road users at risk."They're taking themselves down a path they may not be able to get out of. And while the number of charges of unlawful use of a motor vehicle against juveniles more than doubled, for adults, it rose just 4.3 per cent.
Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski said while the number of offences committed by youth had fallen by 1 per cent in the past five years, fewer than 400 juveniles were responsible for nearly half the crime occurring."That doesn't make it easier, it is complex and we have to work within the law.
