Teens charged over raids

FOUR teenagers have been arrested following 15 armed robberies on service stations in Casey and Dandenong in which $30,000 worth of cash and cigarettes were taken.
The teens, all 17, were arrested on Friday.
In each of the robberies, which started in mid-January, the raiders stormed the petrol station armed with knives and metal poles, jumped the counters and threatened staff.
The alleged offenders are expected to front the Melbourne Children’s Court in early June.
