Detectives have charged three teenagers following investigations into the armed robbery of a take away store in Berserker yesterday afternoon.
It will be alleged that around 4.20pm the three girls entered the shop on Blanchard Street, approached the counter, produced a star picket and threatened a male employee who fled to a room at the rear of the business.
The trio are then alleged to have stolen a sum of cash from the register, before fleeing on foot.
No one was injured as a result of the incident.
A 16,14 and 13-year-old girl were all charged with one count of armed robbery whilst in company.
