Police have charged a woman and two men after a number of goods were allegedly stolen from a store in Cranbourne this week.

It is alleged two men and a woman entered the store on Thompsons Road about 11.05am on Wednesday, 26 March.

The offenders allegedly attempted to leave the store without paying for a range of items.

Security grabbed one of the men and a passer-by intervened, striking the offender with a guitar.

The remaining offenders and a third man returned in a white van, got out of the vehicle and produced what appeared to be metal bars.

Threats were made before security released the person they were holding.

All the offenders then got into the vehicle and fled the scene.
