Police confirmed to our newsroom a 15-year-old was arrested, and charged with two counts of burglary and three of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
The teen was one of 10 young men in the Government's military-style youth academy pilot, which ended its residential component mid-October.
Mark Mitchell says the other nine have been doing really well, and are lined up for jobs.
He says it's important to remember these youths are at the top end of violent offending crimes, so there will be challenges.
