A larger group approached three teenagers and threatened them at the intersection of Morningside Drive and Sainsbury Rd, about 300 meters from Westfield Shopping Center in St Lukes, he said.
The three teens later had personal property stolen, Armstrong said.

They were arrested and the police located the stolen property.
However, no weapon was found, Armstrong said.
