A SEVENTEEN-year-old male will face the ACT Children’s Court today (March 30) after he was arrested while robbing a house in Ngunnawal yesterday afternoon. 
The arrest occurred around 4.45pm after there was a report of a suspicious car and two men were seen entering a house.

The 17-year-old teenager has been charged with four counts of aggravated burglary, two counts of ride/drive in a stolen motor vehicle, two counts of minor theft, four counts of property damage, resist arrest, unlawful possession, possess drug of dependence, failure to appear in court and had a first instance warrant for his arrest.
The 22-year-old man will face the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date and will be charged with two counts of aggravated burglary, two counts of ride/drive in a stolen motor vehicle, theft, property damage, resist arrest and possess drug of dependence.
