DeKALB – A DeKalb teen was arrested Wednesday in connection with a robbery at DeKalb Food Mart, 850 Pappas Drive, police said.
The DeKalb Police Department was dispatched to the store at 5:12 p.m. May 17 when officers were told a male suspect had robbed the store and then fled with an unknown amount of money, according to a news release Friday.
DeKalb police examined video footage from the area, which allowed authorities to corroborate the accounts of what transpired at the time of the robbery.
In their investigation, police said authorities identified the offender as a 15-year-old boy. He has been charged with robbery, a Class 2 felony, and was arrested without incident Wednesday at his DeKalb home.
An attempt to reach the DeKalb police chief Friday was not successful.
