Between February and October 2022 there were a total of 4906 retail burglaries, and 49% of those arrested were under the age of 18.

Of those offenders, 51% of them did not face court action.

Youth Development Worker Aaron Hendry says sometimes dealing with youth offenders out of court is positive, as it means their needs are being met.

He says that the re-offenders are those who don’t have support available to them, which is a failing within the system.
