Police will allege that around 8.30pm two teenage boys entered a Hanlon Street business and threatened a 22-year-old male employee with a hammer before fleeing on foot with a quantity of alcohol.

Patrolling patrol arrested two teens soon after in the nearby vicinity.

The boys are from Bethania and Kingston.

No one was physically injured during the alleged robbery.
