Westgate Alliance Taskforce detectives have charged three men in relation to an armed robbery in Werribee.
It’s alleged the male victim was walking along Tower Road in Werribee at about 10pm on Tuesday 25 July, when he was approached by two unknown males.
It’s alleged the men produced knives and made demands for the victim’s phone and wallet which the victim handed over.
The alleged offenders then fled the area while the victim contacted police.
Police and specialist units responded on the ground and in the air immediately but were unable to locate the alleged offenders at the time.
An investigation commenced which led to a series of warrants conducted by the Westgate Alliance Taskforce on Friday (28 July), where three men were arrested.
Three men, two from Werribee and one from Newtown, all aged 18-years-old, have each been charged with armed robbery.
They were all remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
Detectives from the Westgate Alliance Taskforce will continue to investigate those committing serious offences in the western suburbs.
