Police have arrested and charged a fourth young person following an aggravated robbery in Invercargill last month.

On 24th March at around 3.30am, Police were alerted to four people entering a store on North Road.

The group targeted cigarettes and tobacco before fleeing the area in a vehicle.

Police subsequently arrested three young people over the following two days.

A fourth young person has now been taken into custody and appeared in Invercargill Youth Court today, charged with aggravated robbery.

They are due to reappear in mid-April while the three other youths previously charged are due to reappear in the coming days.
