A 16-year-old has been arrested in connection with a food delivery driver robbery earlier this month.

The underaged boy was arrested on Tuesday and questioned about the events and was released later that evening.

Further investigation revealed evidence against the 16-year-old, for robbing a 25-year-old food delivery man.

Police investigation showed that around 10pm on January 21 the food delivery man was delivering an order in Deftera, when he was approached by three individuals who stole the order.

One of them attacked him, hit him on the head with a metal rod, while the other individuals stole his motorcycle and fled.

The 25-year-old reported the incident on the same night when the next day police located the stolen motorcycle in Deftera.
