Three teenagers admit series of vehicle break-ins in Norfolk village

Three teenagers have been referred to the multi-agency Youth Offending Team rather than punished through the courts after a series of vehicle break-ins in Martham.

It follows the arrest of two 14-year-old boys and one 15-year-old girl in connection with the incidents in January 2022, all of whom admitted the offences.


During the early hours of Sunday, January 23, a number of unlocked vehicles in the village were opened with items taken from inside.

Some locked doors were also tried on other nearby vehicles during the same night.

Keys, a mobile phone charger, a small quantity of cash and chewing gum were taken from unlocked cars in Bailey Close, Pyman Close and Bensley Road. The items have since been recovered.
