A 17-year-old boy has been charged in relation to an alleged armed robbery at Marian on July 10.
At approximately 5.20am, it will be alleged the teenager threatened a worker at a service station and demanded money.
The 37-year-old male worker refused and the male allegedly ran from the store, leaving in a stolen Volkswagon Amarok.
CCTV footage shows two people entering the service station while the driver remained in the stolen Amarok. The service station attendant threw what appears to be a stapler at one of the people, who retreated backwards. The second person continued forward to the counter and attempted to go behind the counter when the service station attendant picked up a metal stool and threw it, which was enough for them to quickly retreat. The second person was waving what looked to be a metal object. The stolen Amarok then sped off from the service station. It is unknown which of the three in the footage is the 17-year-old who has been arrested.
The worker was not physically injured.
It will be further alleged a short time later the teenager was involved in a break in at a Grandview Drive convenience store in Mount Pleasant, where property was stolen.
The stolen Volkswagon was later located burnt out at West Mackay.
The 17-year-old has been charged with one count each of attempted armed robbery (in company), unlawful use of a motor vehicle, enter premise with intent to commit indictable offence, stealing and arson.
He will appear before Mackay Children’s Court.
Investigations are ongoing.
