Teenagers charged with robbery, assault

Posted December 5, 2008 09:09:00

A group of teenagers and a 22-year old man have been charged after an attack on two brothers yesterday in Perth.

The group, including boys and girls, some as young as 13, allegedly confronted the men outside their Spearwood home.

The 17 and 20-year old brothers were allegedly knocked to the ground and lost consciousness.

Police say the group then broke into the home and stole and damaged property.

The 22 year-old and three of the teenagers faced court today, while the other two will appear before the Childrens Court on Tuesday.
