Teenagers Arrested for Robbing Delivery Driver at Gunpoint

The Two Suspects Were Connected To Other Crimes In The Area Including Residential And Vehicle Burglaries

Two juveniles, one of whom accidentally shot himself in the hand, were arrested in Santa Monica on Wednesday for allegedly robbing a delivery driver at gunpoint, according to the Santa Monica Police Department as reported by Westside Current.

The incident occurred around 2 p.m. on Monday when Santa Monica police responded to a report of an armed robbery at the intersection of Third Street and Idaho Avenue. The delivery driver was threatened and robbed by the two suspects, with the stolen items remaining undisclosed.

Approximately 20 minutes later, authorities received a call regarding gunshots in the 800 block of Second Street. Responding officers discovered a juvenile inside a residence who had unintentionally shot himself in the hand. It was later determined that the juvenile, along with another individual present at the scene, were the suspects involved in the earlier armed robbery, as stated by the police.

Following the events, the unharmed suspect was transported to a juvenile hall, while the injured boy received medical treatment at a hospital. He was released the following day and subsequently taken to a juvenile hall. As their identities and ages were not disclosed, their names remain unknown.

Further investigation conducted by the police revealed that the two suspects were connected to various other crimes in the area over the past few months, including residential and vehicle burglaries, auto theft, and a stabbing.
