A SCHOOLGIRL is thought to be among a group of youths who robbed and threatened a man with box cutters near Fountain Gate Shopping Centre earlier this month.
The victim was walking along Victor Crescent in Narre Warren toward the shopping centre on Wednesday 5 November about 5.30pm when he was approached by three male and one female youths.
It’s understood the group stood in front of the victim and tried to engage him in conversation, before demanding his phone and money and threatening him with yellow box cutters.
