The 15- and 17-year-old were booked into the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Center on charges of Robbery in the First Degree and Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle. Not all of the listed cases have resulted in charges yet, but detectives do believe all the cases are connected. Other charges are expected as detectives do more investigating, and other arrests are possible. The 11-year-old could not be booked due to his age. He was released to a guardian while additional investigation is done.
