Teenagers arrested after Bunnings stabbing

Teenagers arrested after Bunnings stabbing

Two men have been taken to hospital with stab wounds after they were attacked in a Bunnings carpark while trying to recover a pair of stolen Apple AirPods. 

Police found the injured 40-year-old man and 18-year-old, both from Glenroy in Melbourne, after being called to a fight outside the Pearcedale Parade store on Monday night. 

The men had used a "Find My" app to locate the pair of earphones that were stolen earlier from the 18-year-old in a nearby shopping centre. 

Witnesses reported seeing the alleged offenders running from the scene after the pair were stabbed, as the victims were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Members of the Critical Incident Response Team entered the property and arrested an 18-year-old and three 19-year-old men.

A 14-year-old boy was found with injuries allegedly from the fight.

An 19-year-old has been charged with causing serious injury with intention in circumstances of gross violence, affray and robbery, while the 18-year-old has been charged with intentionally and recklessly cause injury and affray.

The remaining 19-year-olds have been bailed to appear in Broadmeadows Magistrates Court on June 17th.
