Three boys—ages 12, 13, and 15—were standing outside when they were approached from behind by four unidentified individuals. One of the suspects displayed a knife before the group took a pair of sneakers from the 12-year-old’s hands and all three victims’ backpacks.
The suspects then fled northbound on York Avenue. No injuries were reported.
Police have released images of the four suspects, who also look very young. No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.
