Police Charge Woman After Hampton Park Armed Robbery

Moorabbin Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a woman following an armed robbery in Hampton Park last month.

Investigators allege that a man and woman approached a group of 15-year-old boys as they were leaving a park on Bluff Road on Saturday, 10 May about 3.50pm.

The teens were carrying a football when it is alleged the woman produced a taser and made demands for the football.

It is alleged the woman chased the boys, causing one to fall to the ground before stealing the football and fled the scene.

A 15-year-old Brighton boy sustained serious injuries.

Today detectives executed three search warrants in Hampton East, South Melbourne and Footscray where they located and recovered the allegedly stolen football and taser.

A 20-year-old South Melbourne woman was arrested and charged with armed robbery and remanded to appear before Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.

Investigations in relation to the identity of the male co-offender remains under investigation.
