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

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.
