Teenage Accomplice to Burglary Crimes Sentenced to Jail

A 19-year-old man, identified as Ryan Morseu, was sentenced to three months in jail for acting as a lookout while a 14-year-old boy committed a series of burglaries in Sarina. On the night of October 20, Morseu and the 14-year-old boy broke into two properties and a car, stealing valuables and causing damage.
