A teenage boy has been charged after he allegedly punched and robbed a Kingaroy woman outside her home.
Police claim the woman was standing in her driveway when she was approached by the 16-year-old just before 11pm last Wednesday.
Kingaroy Police acting officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Sean Relf said the teenager punched the woman in the face, causing her nose to bleed, and grabbed her handbag.
It will be alleged the boy then fled the scene with the stolen property, running to a nearby car occupied by several other people.
The teenager now faces one charge of robbery with violence while in company.
No other charges have been laid at this stage.
He was released on bail from police custody and is due to appear in Kingaroy Children’s Court on Wednesday.
