A 14-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses following a string of armed robberies at hotels in northern NSW. The teenager allegedly threatened several people with a knife during the incidents.
A 14-year-old boy will face court after several people were allegedly held at knifepoint during a string of armed robberies at hotels in northern NSW. Three males, one as young as 14, first allegedly broke into a hotel room on Amaroo Drive in Moree at 3.15am last Thursday while armed with knives. A 63-year-old woman inside the hotel room was allegedly assaulted before the men left in a car belonging to the woman and an 83-year-old man, who was also in the room at the time.
Paramedics treated the woman and she was taken to Moree District Hospital in a serious but stable condition. An hour later, police allege the same trio drove to a hotel on Mungindi Road in the allegedly stolen car and broke into another hotel room. It is alleged the group got into another altercation with a 51-year-old man in the room before fleeing. He was not injured. The group then allegedly broke into another room at the same hotel and threatened a 78-year-old man and 65-year-old woman at knifepoint, before taking the keys to their car. The trio drove both allegedly stolen cars from the second hotel to a third hotel on Warialda Street, where they again forced entry into a room with a 44-year-old man and 11-year-old boy inside. Another hotel guest, a 46-year-old man then challenged the trio and was threatened with a knife by the group. Police allege one of the men got into one of the allegedly stolen cars and drove it towards the 46-year-old before he crashed it into a parked car. A 14-year-old boy was arrested over the incidents at a home in Moree at 4.25pm yesterday. He was taken to Moore Police Station where he was charged with seven offences including aggravated break and enter, participating in a criminal group, and armed break and enter. The police investigation is continuing.
