Queensland Police have charged three teenagers after a series of incidents across Brisbane's south on the afternoon of October 29. Police allege the boys stole knives from a supermarket in Sunnybank Hills at about 4:16 p.m., then tried to steal a vehicle from a shopping centre car park in Calamvale, where a 27-year-old was assaulted at about 4:50 p.m. and taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police further allege that, a short time later, the group threatened a 14-year-old with a knife at a bus station in Holland Park and demanded his phone. Shopping centre car parks connect several risks at once: theft from stores, vehicle crime and assaults. They are also where centre management, retailers and security can do the most together.
