Two juveniles charged for robbery

Two juveniles have been charged in connection with a robbery that occurred earlier today on Kimberly Place.

On July 24, 2024, officers were dispatched to a residence in the 400 block of Kimberly Place for a robbery. When officers arrived, they learned that two male suspects with a firearm approached the victim and demanded money. The suspects fled with an undetermined amount of money before officers arrived.
