This Week in Crime: A Mob Melee and a Seriously Bad Fare

Nothing like a mob assault to kick off the week in crime:

A 16-year-old teenage boy was assaulted and robbed on his way home from work around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 10. The boy was riding his bike in the area of Fox Mill Road and Sunrise Valley Drive when four other teenage boys came out of the woods; the victim recognized three of them. One suspect reportedly pushed the victim off his bicycle and another suspect kicked and assaulted him. They took his cell phone and fled. The two other teens did not participate in the robbery. The victim returned home and called police. He did not require medical treatment at that time. Officers located the suspects in the area. The two teenage suspects were transported to the Juvenile Detention Center and charged with assault by mob and robbery.
