This afternoon detectives located and arrested a 16-year-old male.
“Police have charged the male with aggravated robbery and unlawfully getting into vehicle,” Detective Senior Sergeant Friend says.
“There are enquiries ongoing to locate the second offender involved in the aggravated robbery this morning.”
