"I've never seen the willingness of juveniles to participate in such serious crime … They're actively looking for opportunities to partake in this serious crime for financial gain, so that is concerning," Superintendent Box said. "If they've been involved and have been captured in some type of organised criminal activity and they've realised that it's beyond them, that this is a lot bigger than they thought, the repercussions are enormous, their personal safety and that of their family is at risk, they can come forward and see us … we'll do what we can to protect them," he said. "There's a long reach of these people, these organised crime networks in jails and areas of custody, so there's nowhere that they're going to be protected if they're committing offences against these serious criminals; they really need to consider what they're doing."
