Armed robbery, Kippa Ring
Two people have been charged following an armed robbery and assault near a service station in Kippa Ring overnight.
Police will allege that around 10.20pm, a 15-year-old boy left the service station and walked onto ANZAC Avenue when two males approached him and began a verbal altercation.
The pair then allegedly threatened to stab the boy, with one of the men concealing his hand inside a pocket to appear as if he was concealing a weapon.
The pair demanded the boy hand over drinks, tobacco products and a lighter. He complied.
Shortly after, the males then approached an 18-year-old man walking along ANZAC Avenue and began another physical altercation.
The pair followed the man into Lions Crescent before punching him several times.
The man was transported to Redcliffe Hospital for treatment of facial injuries.
A 15-year-old Kippa Ring boy has been charged with one count each of armed robbery and assault occasioning bodily harm. He will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.
