Two teenage boys were arrested last Tuesday after allegedly brandishing a BB gun and robbing another teen of his jacket in Seminary Hill.
Teenagers reportedly robbed the victim at around 2:51 p.m. at a bus stop across the street from Francis C. Hammond Middle School.
The suspects fled the 4600 block of Seminary Road on a DASH bus and were later found with BB guns and the stolen jacket less than two miles away at the Bradlee Shopping Center, according to the Alexandria Police Department.
No one was injured in this incident, and the suspects were transported to the city’s Juvenile Detention Center, APD confirmed.
An incident description from the department is available below.
