Following an extensive investigation, local police along with detectives from Bendigo and Central Goldfields crime investigation units executed search warrants at two addresses in Echuca early this morning.
The searches resulted in the seizure of clothing and mobile phones.
Two youths were arrested and have each since been charged with 22 offences including affray, recklessly cause injury, threats to kill, theft and violent disorder.
An 18-year-old man has been bailed to appear at the Echuca Magistrates’ Court on 16 August 2022.
A 17-year-old male youth has been bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.
