Overview

  • Police detained a 14-year-old boy who lives next door after a Special Operations Team picked him up on Friday.
  • Officers say they recovered a bloodstained knife, stained clothes, and a paper detailing lock-picking methods marked with the words 'Mission Don'.
  • Investigators report the teen’s browsing history included searches on breaking locks, entering homes unnoticed, escaping, and cracking safes.
  • CCTV checks and building rules that bar couriers from entry led police to focus on someone familiar with the family’s routines.
  • The victim was home alone due to a school holiday, and her father discovered her around 12:30 pm after finding the door partly open.
