Robbery in the CBD

About 4.30pm on Monday 22 June, police were called to a business on Hindley Street to reports of two boys threatening staff with a knife and making off with nitrous oxide canisters.

Thankfully, the staff member was not physically injured during the incident.

Police spotted the duo running from the business and with the assistance from a member of the public the two boys were arrested.

A police officer received minor injuries during the arrest after being cut by a knife that one of the boys had concealed upon him.

A 14-year-old boy from Enfield and a 16-year-old boy from Henley Beach were charged with theft using force.

Their bail was refused and they are expected to appear in the Adelaide Youth Court later today.
