A TEENAGER was arrested at Carrum Downs Shopping Centre last week after he was allegedly caught concealing a machete.
Police attended the Hall Road site at around 3.30pm on 10 November after receiving a report that a person was wielding a machete. When they arrived, police allege they saw a person with a machete hidden down their pants.
Police seized the machete and spoke to two 17-year-old boys from Carrum Downs. In a statement, Victoria Police said “one was interviewed and is expected to be charged at a later date.”
