According to Master Sgt. Julie Green, the minors dropped the stolen things due to their weight and fled on foot in different directions.
The 14-year-old maintained an AR weapon in his possession, but he dumped it near the business.
The teens reportedly tried to turn off the store’s electricity before breaking in through the back entrance, according to investigators. The youngsters trashed the store before taking the aforementioned things, according to Green.
Both guys entered the business the day before the heist and glanced about, according to Green. The youngsters were requested to leave by the shop owner, and they did so without incident.
