Three teens aged 14, 15 and 19 were later arrested.
KMOV reported:
According to police, Sheena Greitens had just left a restaurant around 6:20 p.m., was in her car in the 3900 block of West Pine, and was looking at her cell phone when a teen suspect suddenly opened her car door. The suspect then pointed a gun at her demanded she handover her property. She gave him her cellphone and laptop.
Sheena Greitens told officers she saw several males running from the area after she was robbed.
Another car on the same lot was also broken into, police said. The victim of that theft told police his cell phone was stolen.
Eventually, officers tracked the suspects’ car to the 4200 block of Shreve, where they attempted to stop it. The car fled and was involved in an accident. Following the crash, three male suspects who were inside the car fled on foot, but were soon arrested. Police believe the suspects are aged 14, 15 and 19.
The suspects’ car was stolen in a robbery earlier in the day in the 3700 block of Lindell, and police also believe it was used in an attempted robbery.
