Three teenagers allegedly assaulted a woman at a South Dunedin vape shop after being denied their evening nicotine fix. The trio had attempted to enter VaperZ in South Dunedin but were denied service as they were underage. The three took exception to this and assaulted a woman before fleeing the scene in a car. The 17-year-old was charged with two charges of assaults towards police, resisting arrest, possession of cannabis and common assault. The 18-year-old man with the two girls was arrested and charged with possession of offensive weapon and breaching bail conditions.
