Three arrested over alleged brawl near Central Coast shopping centre

Police have charged three men over a brawl on the Central Coast last week.

A group of teenage boys were approached by another group of males - allegedly armed with baseball bats and machetes - outside a shopping centre on Bryant Drive, Tuggerah, about 2.35pm on September 1.

It is alleged the armed group chased the others before a brawl broke out between the groups - it is unknown if anyone was injured.

Officers from Tuggerah Lakes Police District attended shortly after and both groups dispersed.

Six teenage boys were arrested at the time and released.

Following further extensive inquiries, police attended an address in Blue Haven shortly before 12pm yesterday and arrested an 18-year-old man.

Then about 1.50pm the same day, officers attended a Wyong home and arrested two teenage boys - aged 16 and 18.

All three were taken to Wyong Police Station.

The 18-year-old Blue Haven man was charged with affray, armed with intent to commit an indictable offence and driving whilst disqualified.

The 16-year-old was charged with affray and armed with intent to commit an indictable offence.

The 18-year-old Wyong man was charged with affray.

All three were granted conditional bail, with both 18-year-olds due to face Wyong Local Court on September 30, while the 16-year-old is due to face a children's court on September 15.

Inquiries are continuing into the incident, anyone with information which may assist police is urged to come forward.
