Story summary

In Sydney's southwest, The Bottle-O Narellan Vale bottle shop was targeted by a group of five teenagers who stole around $1,000 worth of alcohol in a chaotic incident captured on CCTV. The theft occurred shortly after 6 pm on a Saturday when the teens entered the store and began hiding their faces to avoid being identified. Some monitored the entrance while others filled bags with alcohol. Bottles were smashed during the raid, leaving glass strewn across the floor. Guo Wu, the 49-year-old shop owner, tried to stop them but was shoved, sustaining minor injuries. Her son Santiago, 20, attempted to intervene and was punched in the left eye. One of the suspects, a 13-year-old boy, has been arrested; however, four other males are still at large, prompting a police manhunt. The community is being urged by authorities to assist with identifying the remaining suspects via Crime Stoppers.
