Investigators arrested and remanded the boys following a series of aggravated burglaries and reports of stolen cars in Narre Warren South, Pakenham and Berwick last week.

The teens were arrested and interviewed over the alleged home invasions which occurred in Botanic Drive in Pakenham, Cassandra Court in Berwick and Amhurst Drive in Narre Warren.

Two Pakenham boys, aged 16 and 15, were charged with aggravated burglary, theft of motor car and traffic offences. A second 15-year-old boy from Pakenham was charged with aggravated burglary and theft of motor vehicle.

All three have been remanded to appear at a Children's Court at a later date.

The arrests come just one day after police charged another two teenage boys over home invasions and car theft in Melbourne's west at the weekend.

New research has also revealed that children aged 15 are the state's most prolific youth criminals.The research, compiled by the Crime Statistics Agency, reveals that more than a third of the state's young criminals are 14 and 15-year-olds.

The information about 15 year old offenders comes from table one, which shows you the average number of incidents recorded for offenders by age, which shows that 15 year olds had an average of 2.9 incidents per offender in the 12 months to March 2016. The research also showed that 15 year olds were more likely to reoffend compared to offenders under 18 over the past year.
