Two more arrested for robbery

A further two males have been charged over a robbery at Woy Woy railway station after they were arrested following a pursuit in the state's south.

Just before 4:30pm on Tuesday, February 2, a 17-year-old boy was waiting at the bus terminus area of Woy Woy railway station when he was approached by four teenagers.

Two of the four teens allegedly punched the 17-year-old in the chest and face and forced him to hand over his wallet, before they all ran into the railway station and boarded a northbound train.

Shortly afterwards, the 17-year-old attended Woy Woy Police Station to report the incident to Brisbane Water police who commenced an investigation.

At 3:45pm on Thursday, February 4, police attached to Yass Highway Patrol detected a Toyota Prado speeding on the Hume Highway at Bookham.

Checks revealed the car had been stolen from Umina on February 2.

Police attempted to stop the vehicle but it failed to stop and a pursuit was initiated.

The vehicle turned around and travelled north on the Hume Highway before taking the exit ramp on the Gundagai Rd.

The pursuit came to an end at Cullinga Creek when road spikes were deployed.

The 15-year-old male driver and 18-year-old male passenger were arrested and taken to Cootamundra Police Station.

The 15-year-old was charged with illegal use of conveyance, police pursuit (Skye's law), drive while disqualified and revocation of parole.

He was also charged with robbery in company, affray and assault relating to the incident in Woy Woy on February 2.

He was refused bail to appear at a Children's Court on February 5.

The 18-year-old man was charged with robbery in company, illegal use of conveyance, and stealing.

He was also refused bail to appear at Wagga Wagga Local Court on February 5.

Another 15-year-old boy had been arrested and charged over the same incident after being arrested at Central Railway Station at 9pm on Tuesday.

Police are continuing to investigate the robbery in Woy Woy, and are urging any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police to come forward.
