'Show us the sunnies!'
A PACK of robbers mugged a man in a Cairns park, demanding he hand over his sunglasses.
A 37-year-old man was walking through the Lennon St park in Manunda yesterday morning when he was approached by three people who allegedly surrounded him demanding money.
After giving the group a small sum of money they then demanded his sunglasses.
The victim refused and was allegedly assaulted by a one person in the trio before leaving the area.
Police subsequently arrested and charged a 17-year-old Westcourt woman with one count of robbery with violence while in company.
The 17-year-old is due to appear in the Cairns Magistrates Court on August 21.
