Two girls charged after supermarket sent in lockdown in Brisbane, Queensland


Two teenagers have been charged after allegedly sending a Brisbane Woolworths store into lockdown.

The girls, aged 14 and 15, allegedly caused chaos at the Woolworths Keperra store at about 3pm yesterday afternoon.

Witnesses claim a manager was allegedly hit with a bottle and an innocent shopper was also caught up in the scuffle.

Both girls were taken into custody and charged with multiple offences, including common assault.

A heavily pregnant woman told 9News a glass bottle was allegedly thrown off a shelf and smashed near her.

Woolworths told 9News it did not tolerate violence or dangerous behaviour in stores.

Footage from the scene captured alarms sounding and a warning to evacuate the store.

The Keperra store re-opened today after a massive clean-up last night. 

Both teens had their matters heard in a children’s court today. 

The 15-year-old is set to face court again on Wednesday.
