The 17-year-old Bell Park girl was arrested this morning and subsequently charged with affray, robbery, assault with intent to rob, assault in company, assault by kicking and commit offences whilst on bail.
She was remanded to appear before a children's court at a later date.
Two other girls, a 17-year-old from Grovedale and a 16-year-old from Whittington, were arrested yesterday and charged with a number of offences including robbery and assault.
Both were bailed to appear before a children's court at a later date.
