A 22-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl have been arrested in relation to a theft committed in Gungahlin yesterday (Thursday, 28 November 2019).
About 9.40am, police attended the Gungahlin Marketplace following reports of a theft involving the Krofne doughnut shop.
Police spoke to witnesses and reviewed CCTV footage, which allegedly showed a woman and group of youths steal cash and items from a vehicle parked in the centre’s loading dock.
About 8am today (Friday, 29 November 2019), police from Gungahlin Police Station executed a search warrant at a residence on Gozzard Street, Gungahlin where the woman was arrested. The 15-year-old girl was arrested a short time later.
The pair have been charged with theft, breach of bail and other offences. They are expected to appear in court today.

Investigations into the involvement of the other alleged offenders remains ongoing.
