THREE teenage boys, two aged 14 and one aged 13, were arrested less than an hour after they allegedly committed an aggravated robbery in Holt yesterday (September 24).
At about 3pm, a 12-year-old boy was allegedly threatened before having his mobile phone and other items stolen from him by the three at the Kippax Shopping Centre in Holt.
A passer-by reported the incident to police and when officers from Belconnen Station attended, the passer-by and other members of the public supplied photos of the alleged offenders and told police they had boarded a bus to Civic.
At 3.49pm police intercepted the bus on Barry Drive, Turner, and arrested the three teenagers. They were bailed to appear in the ACT Children’s Court tomorrow (September 26). Each will be charged with one count of aggravated robbery in company.
