A youth and three adults have been charged following an attempted robbery in Ulverstone and the burglary of several storage sheds in Somerset on Monday.
Police were called about 6:40am, after a youth, a man and a woman reportedly entered the West Ulverstone home of someone known to them, assaulted the resident and attempted to steal items from the property.
A 16-year-old boy from Somerset, a 24-year-old woman from Ulverstone and a 34-year-old man from Western Tasmania were arrested by police at an Ulverstone address a short time later.
