Details: At approximately 4:00pm, a group of offenders on mopeds reportedly assaulted and robbed a group of young boys near the corner of Vanessa Boulevard and the Pacific Highway Service Road, Springwood.

Witnesses stated the offenders aggressively charged at the boys using their mopeds before stealing one of their bicycles. The incident caused significant distress to the victims. A passing motorist who witnessed the event performed a U-turn to return to the scene. By that time, the offenders had fled.

The witness expressed disappointment that no nearby individuals intervened to assist the children during the attack.
