On June 9th<\/sup> around 10:30pm, our deputies responded to multiple robberies occurring back-to-back. They quickly learned two juvenile suspects were the culprits of these crimes and were able to apprehend them just as they were committing the third robbery.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies were first dispatched to a shooting call at Paradise Lanes Bowling Alley off Pacific Ave. Multiple witnesses reported two teenage boys were prowling a vehicle. When one of the witnesses confronted the suspects, the juveniles pointed guns at him and forced him to give them items from his vehicle. They fired a single shot at the victim before leaving the scene. Minutes later, the same two teenagers pistol-whipped and robbed two 15-year-old boys riding bikes and stole their phones before fleeing again. As deputies met and spoke with the 15-year-old victims, the suspects were committing a third robbery at the ARCO gas station off 112th St. S and Steele St. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the ARCO gas station, a 38-year-old female was sitting in her vehicle when one of the suspects crawled into the back passenger seat of her unlocked car and held two guns to her head while demanding money. She had approximately $50 on her and handed it to the suspect. Deputies pulled up to the ARCO gas station just as the suspect was getting out of the back passenger seat of the victim’s car. The 17-year-old and 18-year-old suspects were taken into custody. Deputies could see a gun in plain view inside the suspect\u2019s vehicle, so it was later taken for a search warrant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both suspects will be facing several serious felony crimes to include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed Robbery X 3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assault 1st<\/sup> Degree x 2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theft from a vehicle <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vandalism <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlawful Possession of a Firearm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These suspects could also face several more charges pending the results of the search warrant.\u00a0\u00a0Great work to these deputies as they quickly pieced together the robberies and put an end to the crime spree before someone got hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
