TWO youths have been arrested over an alleged attempted armed robbery of a taxi driver in Mildura.
The males were arrested by police at their home address on Wednesday.
Investigators will allege that in the early hours of Sunday morning the pair restrained and threatened a taxi driver with a knife before demanding money.
Police said the pair then left the scene empty-handed.
The driver sustained minor injuries.
Both males have been charged and will appear at a children’s court at a later date.
