Boys, 11 and 14, Charged with Armed Robbery
The boys demanded merchandise from a woman, who ignored them, police said.
Two boys, aged 11 and 14, were charged with attempting to rob a woman with a knife.
Anne Arundel County police said a 34-year-old woman reported that she was approached by two boys in the parking lot of the Glen Burnie Walmart on Sunday. One of the boys held a knife, and ordered her to drop her merchandise, according to a police report.
But the woman ignored them and continued walking. The suspects then fled toward the Centre at Glen Burnie, the victim told police.
Hours later, the victim contacted authorities saying she saw the two boys walking near the mall. Police arrived and apprehended the boys inside the mall, seizing a knife that matched the description by the victim.
The boys, both of Baltimore, were charged with juvenile citations of armed robbery, assault, and possessing a deadly weapon.
