A 15-year-old girl has been charged with armed robbery after a delivery driver’s vehicle was allegedly stolen in Parkwood, Queensland, early on January 8. The driver was not physically injured.

Police said the 25-year-old man was delivering food to a Rodriguez Court address at about 1:30 a.m. when he allegedly saw two people enter his vehicle and drive toward Alcott Court. As he attempted to stop them, the pair allegedly produced a knife and threatened him before fleeing in the vehicle.
