Two boys face charges after a man told police they robbed him at gunpoint Monday night.

The man said he was walking in the 800 block of North Main Avenue at about 11:15 p.m. when two young men approached him, one of them pointing a gun at his throat, and demanded he hand over his money, acting Capt. Glen Thomas said.

The man gave the two his wallet but refused to hand over his cellphone, at which point the boys fled. They were apprehended by police shortly thereafter at North Main Avenue and Price Street, Capt. Thomas said.

Neither of the boys, 15 and 16 years old, had a weapon at the time of the arrest, he said. Both were charged with robbery, theft, receiving stolen property and related charges.

A Tuesday morning crime spree in Brighton led to the arrest of two juvenile males.

Police say the two boys, ages 12 and 16, stole a Dodge truck from a Weld County home, attempted to rob a Brighton gas station, successfully robbed another convenience store at gunpoint, and led police on a high speed chase.

Police got a call around 4 a.m. on the attempted robbery at the Western Convenience store at 1351 East Bridge Street in Brighton.

Witnesses told police the two juveniles entered the store with guns, and one of the males pointed his weapon at a customer inside the store. The pair reportedly fled the store after the customer began yelling at them, heading eastbound on Bridge Street in the stolen truck.

A short time later, police received a report of a robbery which had just occurred at the Valero station located at 4780 East Bromley Lane.

According to witnesses there, the two boys entered the business with guns and demanded money from the register, then fled in the Dodge truck.

Police later spotted the truck on Bromley Lane, just east of I-76. When police attempted to pull the truck over, the driver sped off and a short pursuit ensued.

When police caught up with the truck in area of 160th Avenue and Cavanaugh Street, they found it abandoned.

The pair was located and arrested a short distance from the truck.

The two suspects were booked in to the Adams County Juvenile Detention Center, and are facing multiple counts of aggravated robbery, attempted robbery, felony menacing, and vehicular eluding.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested Monday after deputies said they found him prowling around The Grove at Wesley Chapel with a bag of stolen goods and an assault rifle.

At about 2 p.m., the boy walked into Dick’s Sporting Goods, grabbed fishing pliers, hunting gloves, a fishing knife and a black .22-caliber Mossberg rifle and walked out, according to a Pasco County Sheriff’s Office report.

He stashed the gun in nearby bushes and went to Best Buy, where he stole a pair of $200 headphones, and then walked to a Ross clothing store and stole shoes, T-shirts and underwear, the report says.

After getting a call, a deputy found the boy emerging from bushes near the Best Buy store, the report says. He was carrying a duffel bag and had the gun slung over his shoulder.

The deputy drew his service revolver and told the boy to drop the rifle.

In the deputy’s interview, detailed in the report, the boy gave the deputy an alias and said the rifle was actually a BB gun.

While the deputy and a witness were talking, the report says, the boy slipped the handcuffs on him around to the front of his body and was pulling himself through the window of the patrol car’s safety cage with his hands on the steering wheel.

He was taken to the Land O’Lakes Juvenile Assessment Center on charges of petty theft, grand theft of a firearm and giving a false name to an officer.

The boy was later found to be a runaway and had failed to appear in court on earlier armed robbery and grand theft charges.

Two kids tried to rob a woman and steal her truck in southeast Portland Saturday, with one telling the other to “show her your piece.”

Police say one of the two, an 11-year-old boy, had a cocked — and loaded — .22-caliber handgun. The other was a 7-year-old boy.

Officers were flagged down by a woman, a 22-year-old from Southeast Portland, who told officers that she had been sitting in her truck when the two kids approached her vehicle as she sat in the Freedom Foursquare Church parking lot. She told police that the kids tried to carjack her as she waited for her parents who were in church.

She told officers that the 7-year-old told the 11-year-old to ‘show her your piece’ and the 11-year-old lifted his shirt and showed her a gun.

The woman told police that she refused to give them the truck and the kids then demanded her phone and money, telling her that they couldn’t leave without something and they threatened to shoot her if she didn’t give them something. The woman again refused to give them anything and she drove away, calling 9-1-1.

As she pulled away she saw the 11-year-old pull the gun from his pocket.

As officers approached, the 11-year-old told the 7-year-old to run but both were stopped on the south side of the Freedom Foursquare Church.

Officers told the 11-year-old to keep his hands out of his pockets but he ignored the officers and tried putting his hand back in his pocket. Officers grabbed his arms and recovered a cocked and loaded .22 caliber handgun in his pocket.

Three young teens were arrested for armed robbery Friday night after a Walgreens manager attempted to stop them for stealing candy and condoms.

The manager had initially spotted the 13-year-olds taking candy and stuffing it in their pockets while inside his S. Whitney Way store. He told them to put it back, that they didn’t need to get in trouble over this.

The employee said the boys next set off the security alarm as they left. That’s why he followed them into the parking lot.

Once again, he asked they return items not paid for, or he would need to call police. He says at least two, and maybe all three, of the boys brandished knives as one threw a $15 package of condoms at him. Another shouted, “Don’t you call the (expletive) police!” Frightened and disturbed, the manager did summon the MPD.

The suspects had gotten onto a bus at the nearby West Transfer Point, and were arrested before it pulled away. Three knives were recovered: a 7-inch steak knife, a 5 1/2 inch steak knife, and a 4 1/2 inch steak knife.

One suspect said he carries one for protection, another said he was cutting food earlier and had forgotten he had left the blade in his pocket. There was also some candy found on the bus. It was near the area where the suspects had been seated.
