Constable Michelle Stagg, of Blenheim, said four boys aged 16 to 19, climbed through a window of an Alabama Rd property at 10.30pm yesterday and stole a Subaru car.
After taking it for a joy ride, they returned to the property and stole a second car, Miss Stagg said. The group split up and took the two cars joy-riding for an hour before they were stopped at 12.10am in Scott St by police.
Two boys aged 19 and 17, both unemployed, were kept in police custody to appear in the Blenheim District Court today, charged with burglary and two counts of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
A supermarket worker and a student, both 16, faced the same charges, but because of their age would be referred to the Blenheim police Youth Aid section.
