Thugs arrested over knife robbery

Six thugs have been arrested after they allegedly pulled a knife on a 15-year-old boy before stealing his hat.

The incident, which occurred at about 3.40pm on Monday 23 November, unfolded at the Narre Warren train station.

Police allege the group approached the 15-year-old boy and produced a knife before making demands for his hat.

It’s then believed the group stole the victim’s hat, before alleging fleeing on foot and boarding a bus towards Cranbourne.

Police, who had been notified of the attack, were able to track down the thugs on board. The alleged offenders were searched and officers were able to locate the stolen hat.

The six males were all arrested. They were said to be “assisting police with their enquiries”.

The investigation remains ongoing.
