TWO 15-year-old boys have been charged over an attempted robbery in which a woman suffered a facial injury.

The two boys were arrested on Wednesday (October 22) and were both remanded in custody ahead of a hearing at Harrogate Magistrates’ Court over the alleged incident in Bullamoor Park, Northallerton, on Sunday (October 19).

The pair have also been charged with theft from a shop.

One is from Northallerton, the other is of no fixed address.
