Last Friday night, police received reports of vehicles being broken into.
Western Southland area response manager Senior Sergeant Peter Graham said one vehicle had allegedly been stolen before being set on fire near the Oreti River Bridge.
‘‘Following these incidents, police started to make inquiries to identify and located those allegedly responsible.
‘‘This included reviewing CCTV footage provided by members of the community and the recently installed crime prevention cameras.’’
Yesterday, police executed two search warrants in the Winton area and located the youths, he said.
The youths had been bailed, and were due to appear in the Invercargill Youth Court at a later date. — Allied Media
