A WOMAN was ambushed by a pair of knife-wielding teenagers at a shopping centre carpark in Belconnen overnight.
Police say the woman was approached by two teenage girls aged 13 and 14-years-old who demanded that she hand over her keys.
When the woman refused, police say the girls assaulted the her and stole her handbag.
The teenagers – who were on good behaviour bonds at the time of the incident – then took off but were later arrested by police after a brief foot chase.
Police later found a large kitchen knife in the woman’s handbag that they say had been used in the robbery.
