| A 16-year-old boy from Kellerberrin will face charges in Perth Children's Court today following the alleged bashing and robbery of a US Navy sailor in May.
Three US sailors were on shore leave in Forrest Chase shopping centre on May 4 when three boys approached them and allegedly started pushing, punching and kicking the men.
Police Media's Diane Simpson alleged one sailor was dragged to the ground and kicked in the head.
Sergeant Simpson said the boys stole cash and other items from the sailors, who suffered abrasions, swelling and bruising.
Detectives yesterday drove to Kellerberrin and charged a boy with two counts of aggravated robbery, two of assault causing bodily harm and one of assault.
Two other boys had already been charged in May, shortly after the alleged attack.
