Upon arrival at the scene, law enforcement found that three juvenile males had caused a disturbance inside the store, which included consuming items without purchasing them and spraying products onto the floor. When the store's staff attempted to expel the trio, one of the individuals brandished a handgun and threatened an employee with harm. The suspects then seized merchandise and fled on foot. Despite the tense situation, no employees were harmed during the incident.
The suspects' descriptions were swiftly dispatched, facilitating their prompt apprehension by officers in the 500 block of Dundalk Avenue. Police managed to recover four folding knives and a BB gun from the young culprits.
