Staff assaulted at Manuka fast-food restaurant

Two teenage boys have been charged after staff were allegedly assaulted at a fast-food restaurant in Manuka on Sunday.

Police allege five young people entered the restaurant about 2.30pm and were asked to leave because of disruptive behaviour.

The group allegedly refused to leave and demanded food before some entered the service area and assaulted staff, leaving one employee with facial injuries.

Police arrested a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy on Tuesday. Both have been charged with aggravated burglary.

Police are seeking to identify the other young people allegedly involved and want to speak with witnesses.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
