Three youths have been arrested following a stolen motor vehicle incident in Karama last night.
Around 9:40pm, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre received a report of an adult male having his vehicle stolen on Mahogany Crescent.
Two offenders approached the driver and snatched the keys from his hand. The victim fled to his vehicle and locked the doors before exiting out of concern the offenders would damage the vehicle with a stick they were armed with.
One of the youths allegedly threw a rock at the victim, narrowly missing him, as the group drove off in the vehicle.
Strike Force Trident investigated the incident and recovered the vehicle around 12:50am.
After a short foot pursuit, three female youths aged 16, 15 and 11 were apprehended. The 16-year-old and 15-year-old are expected to be charged later today. The 11-year-old will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act 2005.
Investigations are ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
