Several youths have been charged with a range of property offences after two businesses in Mount Isa were allegedly broken in to.
Police claim four youths allegedly smashed a window to gain entry to a business in Pioneer at about 8pm on May 21.
The group allegedly caused damaged to five vehicles which were secured at the business before allegedly breaking in to a second business later in the evening, this time in Mount Isa CBD.
