About 7.45pm on Friday, three teenage boys, aged 16, were walking through a vacant lot between Dennis Crescent and Bruce Street, Tolland.

They were approached by a group of people, including four men and a woman.

The woman threatened the teens with a knife, and the males punched them and stole a hat, sunglasses, mobile phone and earphones before fleeing towards Dennis Crescent.

Officers attended shortly after and have launched an investigation.

Two of the teens were taken to Wagga Base Hospital for treatment to facial injuries.

Police are hoping to speak with the five people involved in the incident, as well as anyone witnesses.

All five people are described as being of Aboriginal/ Torres Strait Islander appearance, aged between 16 and 18 years old.
