Northern Territory Police have charged three males following an armed robbery.

“The incident occurred around 9:00pm yesterday at a service station in Malak,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Karl Day.

“It is alleged that two of the males entered the service station while one kept watch outside.

“Once inside, one of the males has distracted the store attendant by attempting to purchase products. The second male has brandished a knife and demanded money.

The knife allegedly used in the robbery has been seized.

Two males aged 16 and 17 were charged with aggravated robbery and breach of bail.

 

They will appear in Darwin Youth Justice Court tomorrow.
