Thousands of dollars worth of alcohol has been recovered after an alleged crime spree across a West Coast town earlier this month.

Police allege that three youths from Rosebery were responsible for two burglaries in the town, which resulted in property damage and the theft of around $3,000 worth of goods on January 18.

Multiple cans of Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Canadian Club and dozens of Vodka Cruisers were included in the alleged haul.

Acting Sergeant Heather Gunton said the teenagers have been charged under the Youth Justice Act and are scheduled to appear in court.

“I would like to thank members of the local community who provided invaluable assistance on the day,” she said.
