A teen reappeared in court last week charged following an investigation into an alleged aggravated robbery in Moree.
About 9.30pm on Thursday, May 8, officers attached to New England Police District responded to reports a man had allegedly been assaulted and threatened with a knife while attempting to leave a carpark on his motorbike.
Officers were told the 22-year-old man was approached by a male in a carpark on Amaroo Drive, Moree, and punched in the face before a wrestle ensued.
A second male – armed with a knife – approached, threatening the man before the group fled to a motorbike in nearby bushland where they met a third person and fled.
The man did not require any medical assistance.
Following inquiries, about 5.30pm on Saturday, May 17, officers attended a home in Moree and arrested a 16-year-old boy.
He was taken to Moree Police Station and charged with aggravated robbery.
The teen was also charged with unrelated matters for police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous, never licensed person drive vehicle on road, breach of bail.
He was refused bail and appeared at a children’s court on Sunday, May 18, where he was granted conditional bail to appear at another children’s court on Monday, May 19.
