On April 12, District 3 officers responded to a robbery in 1700 block of South Tucker, just after 9 p.m.
A 48-year-old woman told officers she parked at the above location. When she exited her car, she was approached by four males, one armed with a rifle. The male with the rifle demanded the 48-year-old woman’s keys. She complied. The male couldn’t start the car, and all four males ran away.
Moments later, officers located two males matching the description of the suspects. After a short foot pursuit, officers took both males into custody, both being juveniles. One of the juveniles had the 48-year-old woman’s keys.
