In Queensland, ten kids have been taken into custody for stealing cars in a recent string of incidents.

The issue of youth crime has once again come into the spotlight in Queensland. Recently, there have been several instances of children engaging in dangerous and illegal activities, causing concern for the safety of both themselves and the public. In fact, a total of ten children have been taken into custody, while three more are still on the run.

One particularly alarming incident involved a 15-year-old boy who was a passenger in a stolen car. The driver, also a teenager, lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pole. The impact was so severe that the car was completely destroyed and scattered across the road. Witnesses describe it as a "horrific" scene, and the passenger was lucky to survive the crash.

The injured teenager was rushed to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. However, his friend who was driving the car fled the scene, leaving him behind. It is believed that the driver was involved in a street race with another car, which ultimately led to the accident. The stolen car, a black Hyundai I30 with Queensland registration 905HO2, had been taken from a Lawton address just a few days prior.

In another incident in Townsville, a group of nine children were arrested after fleeing from a stolen Isuzu. It is reported that two of the teens had been released on bail for previous offences just a week before. All nine of them, with the oldest being 15 and the youngest only 12, were charged with multiple offences and remanded in custody. The Isuzu MUX had been reported stolen from a Douglas address on July 5.

Senior Sergeant Leonie Scott of the Queensland Police expressed concern over the extent of damage caused in these incidents and stated that speed may have been a contributing factor. It is a worrying trend that young individuals are engaging in such reckless and dangerous behaviour. These incidents also highlight the need for better measures to prevent youth crime and protect young individuals from getting involved in such activities. The consequences of their actions can have severe impacts not only on themselves but also on innocent members of the community.
