Incidents over two consecutive nights have Walgett police warning residents to take extra care in securing homes and premises.

The series of reported break and enters are alleged to involve a group of teenagers.

A 14 year old boy has been charged after attempting to break into a Walgett home on Monday night 17 November.

A group of four youths snuck around the back of a Montkeila Street home just after 8pm in attempt to break into the house.

Allegedly armed with screwdrivers, the group broke into the back screen door, but fled the scene after failing to break into a secondary door.

A seventy year old woman was home during the attempted crime but was uninjured.

Not long after, around 9.40pm Central North Police District officers were called to a home on George Sands Way, where they arrested a 14 year old boy.

He attended court yesterday, Tuesday 18 November, where he was charged for entering prescribed premises of any person without lawful excuse, enter building/land with intent to commit indictable offence, and breaching bail.

He was refused bail to attend a children's court on Thursday, where he was granted conditional bail to appear at a children’s court on Thursday 18 December 2025.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.

Thieves have also attempted to break into on homes in Euroka, Neilly and Namoi Streets in Walgett.

The incidents occurred between 10.30pm on Tuesday 18 November and 4am Wednesday 19 November.

Two children's bikes and a scooter were stolen from the front yard of the Euroka Street home.

Police say no entry was gained to the homes and there are no reports of any injuries.

They would like to speak to two teenage boys wearing long pants and hoodies.

One of the boys was reportedly in possession of a knife and the other a machete.

Residents are reminded to secure their homes and premises.

As investigations continue, police are urging anyone with information about the incident or anyone in the area at the time with available dashcam or mobile phone footage to contact Walgett Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333000.
