A 16-year-old girl accused of stealing alcohol, cosmetics and clothes from business across the greater Hobart area has been charged.
The teenager was charged on Sunday after she allegedly stole the items from several businesses across Glenorchy, New Town and Sandy Bay during February and early March.
She is scheduled to appear in the Hobart Youth Justice Court in April.
Tasmania Police say the charges come as part of the successful Taskforce Saturate operation.
“Tasmania Police is committed to protecting the community and local businesses and detecting and preventing anti-social and criminal behaviour with the aim of making our public spaces safer for everyone,” a spokesperson said.
“Our community deserves to feel safe at home, out in public and in their workplaces.”
“We will continue to target anti-social and criminal behaviour and where appropriate, necessary and authorised by law, we will be charging those who offend, and putting them before a Magistrate.”
