Police investigate report of robbery by group of teens

Advertiser Staff

Police were investigating a complaint filed on behalf of three teenagers who reported being robbed by as many as five other teens late Saturday night in the Ward Avenue area.

The victims, 16 to 17 years old, said they were sitting in their car at about midnight Saturday when five teenage boys approached, police were told.

The boys appeared to be 15 to 17 years old, and one of them asked the boys in the car for a dollar.

The group in the car told the other boys they did not have any money.

At that point, two of the boys in the group that demanded money drew knives while a third put on brass knuckles and told those in the car to hand over their wallets, police were told.

Police subsequently arrested a suspect on suspicion of first-degree robbery. He was released to his parents without charges pending further investigation.
