A man is to face court following investigations into an alleged robbery of two people at Stanthorpe yesterday.

Two young men, aged 16 and 18, were sitting outside a shopping complex on High Street around 6.50 last night when they were allegedly approached by a man demanding money from them.

The younger boy declined as he had no money with him.

The man allegedly attempted to punch to younger boy and then pushed the 18-year-old against a wall and demanded money.  The youth handed him money from his wallet.

The man allegedly threatened the boys before leaving.

Police were later called to a disturbance nearby in Marsh Street where a man was arrested for public nuisance.

The 20-year-old Wynnum man was also charged with robbery using violence, attempted robbery and three counts of obstructing police.

He is to appear at the Stanthorpe Magistrates Court on October 18.
