Police have charged two boys, aged 13 and 15, following investigations into alleged break-ins at a service station and fast-food restaurant in Orange, New South Wales.
Two teenagers have appeared before a children's court after being charged over several alleged break-ins in Orange, in the Central West region of New South Wales.
According to NSW Police, officers from the Central West Police District were called to a service station on Bathurst Road at approximately 1:20 am on Saturday, 31 October 2026, following reports of a break-in.
Police were told that two teenage boys had allegedly broken a window, interfered with security cameras and searched through items inside the business. The teenagers had reportedly left before officers arrived.
At approximately 4 am, police received another report of an alleged break-in at a fast-food restaurant, also on Bathurst Road. Investigators allege that a group of teenagers smashed a glass door, entered the premises, damaged electronic equipment and stole items.
Following inquiries into the incidents, police arrested two boys at separate addresses in Orange at approximately 6 pm and 7:30 pm on the same day. The boys, aged 13 and 15, were taken to Orange Police Station.
The younger teenager was charged with multiple alleged offences, including two counts of aggravated break and enter in company, two counts of shoplifting, property damage, common assault and hindering or resisting a police officer. He was also charged with entering enclosed land without lawful excuse.
The older teenager was charged with two counts of aggravated break and enter in company, three counts of larceny involving property valued at or below $2,000, and entering enclosed land without lawful excuse.
Both teenagers appeared before a children's court on Sunday, 1 November 2026. The older boy was formally refused bail and is due to appear again on Monday, 9 November 2026.
The younger boy was granted strict conditional bail and is scheduled to return to court on Tuesday, 17 November 2026.
Police have not publicly identified the teenagers, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
The investigation highlights concerns about alleged property crime affecting local businesses. Break-ins can cause financial losses, damage equipment and disrupt trading, particularly for small businesses that rely on their premises to serve customers.
The matter will continue through the children's court process.
