Youth charged for robbery

-

A teenager has been arrested and charged in relation to a robbery at Intersport, Warragul on April 28.

The 16-year-old Pakenham youth was charged last week after Baw Baw CIU detectives executed a warrant at a Pakenham property and seized a number of stolen goods.

Detectives also seized a quantity of drugs and a weapon.

The morning robbery allegedly involved other offenders who stormed into the store before offenders grabbed sports gear from around the store.

The offenders fled the store and got into a car parked near the skate park in Burke St, driven by another man.

Detectives are continuing investigat­ions into the robbery.

The youth was charged and bailed to appear at Children’s Court at a later date.
