Two Ventura teenagers, aged 14 and 17, were arrested after robbing a 41-year-old woman of her purse at gunpoint. The teens approached the woman on Harbor Boulevard and brandished an unserialized gun, known as a ‘ghost gun.’ They fled on bicycles with the stolen purse but were apprehended shortly after by officers who found the loaded ghost gun and some of the victim’s property. Both teenagers were booked into juvenile hall and charged with armed robbery, possession of a loaded gun, possession of a ghost gun, and criminal conspiracy.

In a major counter-terrorism operation, Australian authorities have arrested seven teenagers with alleged links to a 16-year-old boy charged with a religiously-motivated terror attack on Assyrian Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. Five additional individuals are also being questioned. The teens, who are believed to adhere to a violent extremist ideology, were detained based on their perceived threat to society. This operation, involving over 400 personnel, sought to mitigate potential risks of further harm. The Joint Counter Terrorism Team, comprising state and federal police, conducted 13 raids in Sydney and Goulburn, seizing significant electronic material.

Australian police arrested seven teenagers as part of a wave of anti-terror raids on Wednesday following the non-fatal stabbing of an Assyrian bishop last week. The network may have been plotting an attack and posed an “unacceptable risk” to the public, according to top officers. The offenders, all juveniles aged from 15 to 17, were part of a “wider network of associates and peers” sharing a “similar violent extremist ideology,” police said. Although police believed an attack was possible, they had so far failed to turn up any evidence “of specific locations, times or targets.”
