Two teenage girls, ages 14 and 15, were arrested by El Paso police for an aggravated robbery at a Circle K convenience store located at 4101 N. Piedras St., a location near Clendenin Elementary School, as reported by KFOX-TV. The girls are facing charges of aggravated robbery, with the El Paso Police Department referring them to the Juvenile Probation Department.
According to a video circulated on the social media account therealfitfamelpaso, which KFOX-TV referred to, the teenagers are alleged to have robbed the gas station multiple times in a week, imagery from the account depicted what appears to be the adolescents' arrest, and in the background, Clendenin Elementary School looms, though the exact timing of these alleged robberies was not immediately clear from police reports.
Further details provided by another local news outlet, KVIA, confirm that the children were taken into custody at the scene. The identities of the minors have not been released by the authorities due to their age.
During the investigation, while a teenage boy and a shirtless individual appear in the background of the social media video, the El Paso police have not disclosed any information about their involvement or custody status, a point highlighted by the KFOX-TV report. The weapon used in the robbery was described as kitchen knives by KTSM, who also reported the girls were captured on videos and photos committing the crime.
