A 15-year-old boy has become the first person charged under new ‘post and boast’ laws for allegedly stealing luxury vehicles and uploading about it on social media. The boy is facing an additional two years in prison if convicted under these new offenses. The new laws were introduced to address the rise in youth crime in Sydney and the regions. Meanwhile, an investigation by Police Strike Force Sweetenham is ongoing into teenage car theft in Sydney, with concerns that some stolen cars are being used by organized crime groups.
