BOSTON (WHDH) - A 14-year-old boy was arrested and charged Friday in connection with the robbery of a lemonade stand in South Boston Wednesday, according to Boston police.
The suspect is charged with two counts of Armed Robbery and two counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. He is expected to be arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court.
Boston police released video Thursday of two male juveniles they said are connected to the robbery.
On Wednesday, the 11-year-old and 12-year-old victims told Boston police that two boys walked by their lemonade stand on the corner of E and W 9th Street several times before approaching and asking whether they accepted Apple Pay as payment. Before the victims could respond, one suspect grabbed a box filled with the money they had earned before they both took off from the scene.
David Byrne, the 12-year-old boy who runs the stand with his sister, said the one of the suspects flashed a firearm in his waistband at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information regarding the second suspect is urged to contact detectives at (617) 343-4742.
