Police are looking for witnesses after they arrested three
boys Tuesday following a Zanussi Park robbery.
Investigators say teenagers were at the park April 9 to
watch a fight when one boy and another boy got into an argument and a boy stole
the other’s cell phone.
When the victim tried to get his phone back, he was punched
and kicked by three boys, and had minor injuries.
The suspects attend a local high school, and there were
several witnesses to the attack and want people to come forward and say what saw.
Witnesses are asked to call campus police officer Kami Ysit at 831-4550.
