NSW police launch regional youth crime crackdown

  • Operation Soteria will involve 80 officers who will patrol nine areas in regional NSW to target youth crimes, including aggravated break and enter and car theft, according to NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb.
  • Since the 'post and boast' laws were enacted, 53 individuals have been charged, with 27 being under 16 years old, highlighting the issue of youth crime.
  • NSW Police have identified a group of 80 to 100 young ringleaders committing serious offenses, which involves recruiting younger children for crime, as stated by Commissioner Webb.
  • Youth crime in regional areas is driven by local fame and social media, leading to increasing crime severity as children compete for notoriety, according to Webb.
