TWO youths have been charged with robbery outside a school in Hendon.

The 14-year-old boys from Tottenham and Walthamstow were arrested after staff at St Mary’s School in Fuller Street contacted police on Tuesday February 8.

The teenagers, who do not attend the school, were found with a gas powered airgun, lock-knife and items alleged to have been stolen, including a mobile phone.

They have been charged with four counts of robbery, two counts of possession of sharply bladed articles and one count of possession of an imitation firearm.

One has been remanded in custody whilst the other has been banned from crossing the M25 into London as part of his bail conditions.

Both will appear at Hendon Magistrates Court in March.
