The two men charged with assaulting and robbing a Domino's Pizza delivery man last Thursday night have appeared in Tauranga Youth Court.
A 24-year-old and 16-year-old both appeared in Tauranga Youth Court on Saturday charged with aggravated robbery.
Two men will appear in Tauranga Youth Court next Monday after being charged with aggravated robbery.
The charges stem from the attack on May 9 where a 23-year-old Dominos pizza delivery driver was assaulted by two men as he delivered pizzas to a Maungatapu Road address.
At around 11pm the Dominos employee was delivering pizzas when police say he was confronted by two men as he exited his car. The man was punched in the head before the pair took the pizzas and drove off in a white Nissan Maxima.
The victim received minor injuries and did not require medical treatment.
Police say it is possible the two men made a false order before intercepting the delivery.
The attack was one of three unrelated assaults in the Tauranga area on Thursday night including one where a man was found unconscious on the roadside in the Kaimais.
The Western Bay of Plenty man, in his 40s, was found by members of the public lying unconscious on the side of State Highway 29 near Valley Road around 8.30pm.
He was transported to Tauranga Hospital with minor head injuries where he was treated and discharged.
A 22-year-old Te Puke man has been charged with assault and a 24-year-old Hamilton man has been charged with unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.
Both men have been remanded on bail until Thursday, May 16.
In a third incident a man was assaulted when a man and woman robbed three people of their vehicle in the central city carpark early Friday.
Around 3.20am on May 10 three people were returning to their car parked in the Kingsview carpark on Durham Street when they were carjacked.
'They were approached by a man and a woman who robbed them of their vehicle, assaulting the driver,” says police.
'The three victims managed to immediately alert a nearby police patrol who quickly located the vehicle and signalled it to stop.”
As police indicated for the 1990 Toyota Corolla to stop, the car accelerated away from the police who continued to follow it.
At the 14th Avenue roundabout the vehicle lost control and collided with a pole.
Auckland woman Tepee Snow Laison, 33, is charged with armed robbery and Auckland man Conrad Oscar Rewita, 30, is also charged with drink-driving causing injury and operating a vehicle recklessly causing injuring in relation to the incident.

And we are 'required' to show some form of understanding and compassion for low life's like these because they have been 'disenfranchised.' What a joke!!
