On October 30 at 8:17 pm, Antioch Police officers responded to W. 16th St. for two 16 year old victims reporting an assault and robbery. Furthermore, they advised they had followed the suspects with the assistance of an adult.
According to Antioch Police, the pair reported to officers they had been walking on W. 18th St. in front of the Antioch Middle School. They noticed a group of juveniles following them.
A male, later identified as a 13 year old juvenile, confronted them with a handgun. He demanded one of the victims hand over her purse. The gunman attempted to grab the purse from the female victim, but she refused to release it.
One of the gunman’s cohorts pushed the second victim against a fence. As the female victim continued to struggle with the gunman over the purse, she was struck by an object on the back of the head which cause a laceration and bleeding. The robbers eventually fled the scene with no loot.
The 13 year old gunman and the 15 year old accomplice were arrested. The gun used during the robbery was not located.
Both juveniles denied any involvement in the crime and were later booked at juvenile hall.
The female victim who was struck in the back of the head was transported by ambulance to a local hospital and treated and later released.
