Escalating youth crime triggers large-scale police expansion to WA's Pilbara region
A large-scale police operation designed to tackle escalating youth crime rates in regional WA has been expanded to the Pilbara.
Operation Regional Shield was launched by the state government in response to rising youth crime rates in the regions,
with children as young as 10 stealing cars and using them to ram police vehicles.Last month, taxi drivers in Hedland went on a week-long strike and threatened to take further action if Operation Regional Shield was not brought to the Pilbara.
In the East Pilbara, Newman has previously been compared to a "war zone" due to rampant break-ins and car thefts.

A group of wild teenage delinquents are causing havoc in a town in Western Australia's far north with locals saying the community is fast becoming 'unlivable'.
Kununurra was again hit by another round of vandalism and violence on Tuesday night with three businesses broken into and a police car rammed.
Pub owner Darren Spackman said there was a group of people who were out-of-control and the town was effectively 'under siege'.
His business, Gulliver's Tavern, has been 'targeted' and broken into on seven separate occasions in the last month.
'We're getting really tired of making apologies for being unable to open our bar but unfortunately once again here we are... no bar or kitchen due to another break-in,' the business posted on Facebook.
A local woman in the same community Facebook page said some businesses 'deal with this every night'.
This has been continuously happening for years and years now. The police lock them up and the courts let them out,' she wrote.'How can a town in Australia become unlivable all because of 14 or 15 bad eggs?' Mr Spackman told GWN 7 News.
'It's got to stop. Somebody is going to get killed sooner or later, there's just no need for it.'
'Targeting police houses, police cars, they actually ram raided two police vehicles in front of the police station... that has to be an act of terrorism.'
A Kununurra community page detailed several incidents in recent days and weeks including shop and home windows being smashed and personal items stolen, with photos of the alleged crimes.
Mr Blanch said many of the teens had done stints in detention centres only to be released and cause trouble again.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10714083/The-Australian-town-local-bar-...
