Mazda Demios - New Zealand's most stolen car - are being targeted in sprees that include nightly joyrides.
In one recent weekend, 19 Demios were pinched across the Garden City.
It's understood one offender is a 10-year-old boy - and others in their early teens.
Police say they're working closely with partner agencies to manage youth offenders, support their whanau and provide prevention opportunities.
