episode Child car thieves plague Kununurra tourism town cover

Description

Kununurra is experiencing a surge in car thefts and property crime, with children as young as under 10 years old stealing vehicles and evading police. The regional Western Australian town has recorded 65 stolen cars this year, with businesses facing insurance increases up to 60% and the tourism industry struggling despite winning a top tourism award. Police face legal limitations in addressing offenders under 10 years old, while the government is establishing a safe night space to provide wraparound services for at-risk youth.
