VICTORIAN Police have arrested two men who allegedly attempted to steal a supply of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests (RATs) from a test centre in Melbourne on Sun.
The duo were apprehended before they could flee the Moonee Ponds testing site with a stash of the coveted home-test kits the Hearld Sun reported.
Police have confirmed that all 1,400 RATs grabbed in the raid have been recovered.
A 19-year-old has been charged in relation to the attempted theft, and has been granted bail to appear before Broadmeadows Magistrates Court on 13 Jul.
Police have yet to press charges against a 23-year-old, who has been released pending further investigations into the incident.
