8 And 10-Year-Olds Allegedly Rob For Candy And Chips

WARREN (WWJ) - Police in Warren say two boys used a toy gun to rob five of their schoolmates of candy and chips.

The five victims were walking home earlier this week from Lincoln Elementary when one of the boys pulled the plastic gun on them.

The suspects, ages 10 and 8, have been identified and police are making arrangements to have them brought in to be questioned, according to The Detroit News.

The two young suspects could be charged with armed robbery because one of the children thought the gun was real.

The two robbers each have been given 10-day suspensions from school.

School officials will meet with the boys and their parents to decide if they will be allowed to return to school.
