At approximately 7:45 pm on Monday, April 15, 2024, a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old, both females, purportedly donned masks and hoodies before entering a retail outlet.
Eyewitnesses report that the duo swiftly seized nearly 30 bottles of alcohol, stashing them away in shopping bags before making a hasty exit.
