Teens charged
Five teenagers have been charged after a police operation against antisocial behaviour at Roxburgh Park railway station last Thursday. North-West Metro Strikeforce members executed five warrants at Broadmeadows, Reservoir, Roxburgh Park and Meadow Heights while investigating an alleged robbery at a bus stop outside the station on April 28. It’s alleged a 15-year-old girl’s phone was stolen and she was threatened with having to perform a sexual act if she wanted it back. Five boys, aged 14 and 15, were charged with robbery and theft, and three also face blackmail charges. All will face a children’s court.
Drugs, guns, cycles regained
Police seized drugs, guns and 23 bicycles while executing a warrant at Westmeadows last Friday. Fawkner divisional response unit officers went to a Devenish Court address and found three guns, drugs including ice and cannabis, and 23 allegedly stolen road and mountain bikes valued at between $1000 and $8000 each. A 39-year-old Westmeadows man was arrested.
Facebook horror
North-West Metro Strikeforce members are investigating a Facebook video, posted in April, showing a girl trying to retrieve an item from a drain at Roxburgh Park train station while another girl watches. Suddenly the girl watching is pushed headfirst into the drain, striking her head.
