POLICE say a four-year-old was among a group of children who broke into an Alice Springs school, smashing windows and stealing pens.
A teacher at Living Waters School contacted police after he visited the school about 6pm (CST) on Sunday and found five juveniles on the premises.

The offenders broke into the school by smashing a window before stealing various items, such as paints and pens, police said. The children fled when they saw the teacher but police apprehended the group a short time later.

Two of the children are eight years old, one is six and another is four.

Police said the age of the fifth child, who was the oldest in the group, was yet to be determined.

Officers took the children home and reports were made to the office of NT Families and Children.

BELLEVUE, Washington — A man in Washington state made sure a pair of burglars did not get away with his three flat-screen televisions — he moved their getaway car.

Patrick Rosario was in the basement of his Bellevue home on Tuesday when he heard the burglars upstairs.

The Seattle Times reported the 32-year-old Rosario, who had been laid off from his job as a Washington Mutual bank manager, called police while he sneaked out of the house.

He saw a white van sitting in front of his house with the motor running and the keys in the ignition, and he got in and drove it to a friend's house.
