Two teenage boys have been arrested after cash and vapes were stolen at knifepoint during a raid in Adelaide’s east this morning.

Should vapes be banned or taxed?

Two boys have been arrested after cash and vapes were stolen at knifepoint during a robbery of an eastern suburbs service station on Sunday morning.

Two teenagers entered the Portrush Rd, Glenunga store about 4am brandishing a knife and stole cash and vapes before fleeing on e-scooters.

Police were called to the scene where they quickly found and arrested a 15-year-old Largs North boy. He has been charged with aggravated robbery.

A second boy, aged 14 from Sturt, was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery later on Sunday.

They were both bailed to appear in the Adelaide Youth Court on August 30.

A staff member working at the store was uninjured.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
