Two Brampton teens are facing charges after trying to rob a pizzeria late Monday (March 15), only to be challenged by an employee working behind the counter.

The incident occurred just before 10:30 p.m. at the Pizzaville located on Howden Boulevard near Vodden Street East.

Police say two teens vaulted the counter and attempted to take cash, but the employee began hitting them and they fled on foot with nothing.

Two teens, aged 15 and 17, were arrested nearby. They face charges that include attempt to commit an indictable offence and breach of recognizance. The younger teen was also charged with obstructing a peace officer.
