...you can get beat up by teens?
Two teens arrested after US sailors bashed and robbed
POLICE have arrested two of four teenagers who allegedly attacked and robbed three visiting American sailors in the Perth CBD last night.
About 7.30pm the sailors, who were on shore leave from the USS Tarawa, were surrounded by the four alleged offenders on the upper level of the Murray St Mall.
The offenders demanded money from the sailors then, in an unprovoked attack, punched and kicked them before stealing a wallet and cigarettes.
All three victims sustained swelling and bruising as a result of the incident but were not seriously injured.
The attack was captured on closed-circuit security TV, and Police Rail Unit Officers with
assistance from Public Transport Authority staff attended the Cannington Train Station at 11pm and arrested two teenage boys.
The pair, aged 13 and 14, were charged with aggravated robbery and assault.
They were refused bail and will appear in the Perth Children’s Court today.
Police are making further enquiries as to the identities of the two co-offenders.
OK, assuming the other 2 people involved were also aged around 13 and 14, you mean to tell me that three Navy sailors couldn't handle four 13 & 14 year olds?
