Police later spotted and stopped the vehicle, which resulted in the group being apprehended, said Jennings.

“The quick reporting of this incident by the store owner assisted police greatly with gathering all necessary information, leading to locating and apprehending these youths.

“We understand the impact that this kind of offending has on local businesses and will continue to work to ensure we hold these offenders to account.”
