Youths raid supermarket

Police are investigating a theft that occured at Springhill Shopping Centre supermarket in Cranbourne on Saturday 9 September.
It is alleged a group of about 15 to 20 youths entered the supermarket, located at a shopping centre on the corner of Thompsons and Narre Warren roads, shortly after 6pm.
They went through and grabbed a range of items, leaving the store soon after without making payment. It is believed confectionary, chips and soft drinks were allegedly stolen.
The teenagers were perceived to be of African appearance and a number of them were wearing hooded jumpers and backpacks.
Police are investigating whether some of the people from the same group were involved in a robbery at a bus stop on Lyall Street on the same night.
It is understood five to six males of African appearance travelled on a bus and got off near High Street, along with another teenager about 9.40pm.
They approached a 17-year-old and made demands for his phone, which they allegedly took from him.
No-one was injured during the incident.
Anyone with any information relating to either of the incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
