Lansdowne Vape Pod Dispute Leads To Arrest Of Teenagers: Police

LEESBURG, VA — Two teenagers have been charged in connection with a robbery of vape pods in the Lansdowne community, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff’s office responded to the area of Kipheart Drive and Riverside Parkway around 2:45 p.m. Thursday after a resident saw three teenagers in an altercation in his backyard. Deputies learned from one of the teenagers involved in the altercation that he had arranged a meeting with the other two to sell the vape pods.

The suspects took the vape pods without paying for them. At that time a confrontation ensued and one of the suspects brandished what was later determined to be a replica BB gun. The BB gun and other items associated with the incident were later located discarded in the area.

Both teenagers, whose names are not being released because they are juveniles, are charged with robbery in the case. The juvenile who displayed the firearm is also charged with brandishing a firearm.

The LCSO thanked the public for its assistance in the course of the investigation.
