POLICE are investigating a series of burglaries in Perth's southern suburbs, all involving a white Volkswagen Golf.

About 7.45am on Tuesday March 19, a white 2012 VW Golf hatchback, registration 1DVR 910, was stolen from a home in Troy Terrace, Daglish.

Nothing else was taken in the home burglary and police believe the number plates may have since been changed on the car.

About 8.50am that same day, another burglary took place at a residence in Paterson Garden, Winthrop.

A number of items were stolen and two men were spotted walking from the home before getting away in a vehicle which is believed to be the white Golf stolen from Daglish.

About 3.55am yesterday, a stolen blue Nissan Navara was used in a ram raid on the Bottle Mart liquor store in the Waikiki Village Shopping Centre in Waikiki.

At least two people stole an amount of alcohol from the store before leaving in a white Golf.

Substantial damage was caused to the entry of the store, as well as stock that was smashed by the Nissan vehicle.

A short time later, between 5.30am and 6am, a white Golf was seen at the front of the Lucky 7 Convenience Store on Coolbellup Drive in Coolbellup.

A male staff member arrived to open the store and was approached by two men who demanded his bag.

The victim refused and was punched a number of times, causing multiple facial injuries, but the two offenders left empty handed.

Detectives are also investigating whether the same vehicle and offenders are responsible for other burglary and fuel drive-off offences. They believe there may also have been a third person, possible a female, with the men during these offences.

Anyone with information regarding these incidents, or the whereabouts of the stolen VW Golf is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Boys, 8, among six arrested over robberies

SIX young boys, some of them aged just eight years old, have been arrested following a string of criminal offences in Narrogin last month.

The boys are aged between 8 and 13.

The youths were allegedly responsible for six burglaries in the town over a two week period in February.

It is alleged they stole $1300 worth goods from homes and business, including gaming consoles, drinks and confectionery.

Three of the boys who are aged eight and nine won’t be prosecuted due to their age. Two 10-year-olds will be referred to a Juvenile Justice Team and a 13-year-old boy is likely to face the Narrogin Children’s Court.

Police will allege the youths were also responsible for thousand of dollars damage to various locations around Narrogin and multiple stealing offences.

Narrogin Police Officer in Charge Sergeant Grant Pollard said: “This highlights the need for parents to take responsibility for their children and be aware of their activities and associates, especially at night.”
