Two boys have been charged with shoplifting after £1,000 of perfume was stolen from a store at Bluewater.

A 15-year-old boy from Erith and a 17-year-old boy from Charlton, who cannot be named due to their ages, are accused of making off with the items at 1pm on Tuesday this week.

Both have been charged with one count of shoplifting.

They have been bailed to attend Medway Youth Court on Tuesday, May 9.
