Two 14-year-old girls from Carnarvon, in central western Western Australia, who pleaded guilty to several burglaries, told police they committed the crimes so they could spend time with friends already in custody.
One of the girls pleaded guilty to 19 offences, including seven counts of aggravated burglary.
The other pleaded guilty to 11 offences, including attempting to steal a motor vehicle.
Detective Senior Constable Bruce McDonald says he is concerned by the reason behind the weekend crime spree.
"The disturbing matter regarding all the offences is that when the girls were interviewed by the police they stated they wanted to get apprehended so that they could be remanded in custody and sent to Rangeview Remand Centre in Perth where they currently have a group of friends," he said.
The girls are due back in court at a later date for pre-sentence reports.
