Teens intimidate, rob victim
A group of males in their late teens, perhaps six of them, robbed a 39-year-old man on the 5900 block of N. Glenwood around 3 a.m. Sept. 20. The victim told police that he had just parked his car when he noticed the teens standing on the corner. As he walked northbound toward Ardmore, he realized that some of them were following him. The victim moved to the middle of the street for light and safety, when one of the kids approached him saying, “Did you say something? Got something to say to me?” When the rest of the group surrounded him, the victim laid down his messenger bag. The teens ordered him to empty his bag and took his belongings. They also forced him to empty his pockets of his cell phone, car and house keys. The punks threw the victim’s keys in the grass and took off with the victim’s cell phone, debit card and $5.
