A recent robbery in the Boulevard Heights neighborhood has resulted in the arrest of two juveniles and one 18-year-old, according to local law enforcement. The robbery occurred last Tuesday night around 5:30 p.m. in the 4800 block of River De Peres. A young man, also 18, found himself at gunpoint, confronted by a trio demanding his possessions—which they duly relieved him of, including his bag, bank card, headphones, and his cash, SLMPD reported.
Following the incident, officers were called to the scene and employed the assistance of a K9 unit to track the suspects to a nearby residence. Upon being spotted by the police, one of the suspects dashed into an house, prompting officers to obtain permission from the homeowner to enter. Inside the home, they apprehended a 16-year-old male, a 17-year-old male, and an 18-year-old man. Aside from the individuals, authorities also seized several items believed to be related to the crime, along with firearms.
The belongings seized by the officers suggest the incident was meticulously planned. The investigation into the robbery continues with an ongoing effort to piece together the events of that evening. According to the SLMPD, the apprehension of the suspects was swift, thanks to community assistance and effective police work. The suspects currently remain in custody, with charges pending as the investigation unfolds.
