Police are investigating after two teenage girls were allegedly violently assaulted by a larger group of girls in a robbery in Auckland’s Takapuna last night.<\/p>\n

Police say they have identified most of the youths involved, who are aged between 12 and 17.<\/p>\n

“The two young victims were hanging out with the group around Takapuna for around an hour on Saturday evening,<\/p>\n

“At about 9.30pm the group reportedly turned on the pair,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Williams.<\/p>\n

“The victims were separated and reportedly violently assaulted, before having their personal items stolen,” he said.<\/p>\n

Police said the victims were able to identify a number of young people of interest at a bus station.<\/p>\n

Williams said follow-up enquiries were being made, with potential charges being considered.<\/p>\n

Police were unable to confirm how many girls were involved in the attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are investigating after two teenage girls were allegedly violently assaulted by a larger group of girls in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-577696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
