DETECTIVES were able to return a portable speaker after it was stolen from one of two youths walking home from Mt Erin College, 9pm, Wednesday 21 February.
Detective Senior Constable Shaun Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said the 15-year-olds were walking home after basketball along Franciscan Avenue when a group of youths from a nearby party approached.
Two of the youths allegedly “stood over” the boys and demanded to be able to go through their backpacks, stealing the speaker and other items valued at $200.
Detectives later attended the party and spoke to the hosts who put out a message on social media, urging the offenders to return the items, which they did.
A Frankston youth and a Crib Point youth, both 17, were taken back to the police station for questioning. Charges may follow.
