Three juveniles, aged 17 and 16, have been charged in relation to the aggravated robbery case in Wailoku.

The three are jointly charged with one count of aggravated robbery and one count of theft.

They will appear in the Suva Magistrates Court today.

The three juveniles and a man in his 20s were arrested on Monday.

A CCTV video clearly shows an attempted robbery of a man by a group of young boys.

The man had parked his van to check on something at a Wailoku home, and as he was returning to his van, one of the young boys approached him, locked the man's arms behind him, and pushed him onto the road.

At this point, two other young boys joined in.

The man eventually fought them off and drove away.
