FIVE teenagers have been arrested after a crime spree across the West last week.
The teens allegedly used a slingshot to damage several bus shelters, a house and at least one shop between 8pm and 10.15pm on Wednesday 2 November.
The incidents occurred throughout Altona, Altona Meadows, Altona North, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton, Newport, Williamstown and Werribee.
Police charged a 19-year-old Sunshine West man with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, criminal damaging and discharging a missile.
The man was also charged with driving while suspended and police have impounded his Holden Commodore sedan under the hoon laws.
The 19-year-old has been bailed and will appear before the Sunshine Magistrates’ Court in February next year.
Two girls, aged 15 and 16, from Werribee and two boys from Wyndham Vale, both aged 17, have each been charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, criminal damage and discharging a missile.
All four youths have been bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.
A police spokesperson was unable to comment on whether the damage was gang-related.
