Two men and a 15-year-old boy have been arrested for allegedly stealing liquor from a bottle shop and assaulting defenceless staff.

On Tuesday, SA Police were called to a Thirsty Camel bottle-o at Plympton after reports of an altercation with staff members suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Security camera footage showed the brazen thieves allegedly attacking staff over a four-pack of vodka drinks before fleeing the scene. The pack was worth about $25.

Police arrested a 43-year-old man of no fixed address on Friday, charging him with aggravated robbery.

He was also charged with aggravated assault of a retail worker over an attack inside a Melrose Park sports store last December.

It comes after the teenager from Sheidow Park and a 39-year-old man, also with no address, were detained on Wednesday.
