Police are appealing for witnesses after a 17-year-old boy was threatened with a knife during a robbery at North Lakes on Thursday, August 29.

They say initial investigations indicate the boy was riding his bicycle along Memorial Dve, near the intersection of Diamond Jubilee Way about 5.35pm with another boy, who was walking beside him.

The boys approached from behind by two unknown males, who were on bicycles.

One of the offenders produced a knife and demanded the victim’s bike, before taking it and fleeing.
