Detectives from Acacia Ridge Criminal Investigation Branch have charged two people in relation to a robbery at Mount Ommaney on February 28.
Overnight on February 28, a Forest Lake property was broken into, and a red Toyota Camry stolen.
At approximately 7.45am, a group in the stolen Toyota Camry have approached a woman in a Dandenong Road shopping centre carpark.
Police will allege one of the occupants has approached the woman with a knife, however she was able to walk away and hide and the male left in the vehicle.
A short time later at the same shopping centre, the same vehicle approached a second woman as she was approaching her own vehicle.
A male has allegedly stolen her handbag, containing cash and personal items, before leaving in the stolen red Toyota Camry.
Neither woman was physically injured.
It will be further alleged the vehicle was observed driving dangerously in the Carindale area later that morning.
Investigations led police to attend Forest Lake just after 10.30am that morning, where the stolen vehicle was located abandoned, and a knife located in the vehicle was seized.
Police conducted a search of the area and located a 17-year-old boy nearby and he was taken into custody.
He has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle in company.
Police refused bail, and he was expected to appear before Brisbane Children’s Court on March 1.
