Minor Tries To Buy Nicotine In Herndon, Gets Robbed Instead: Cops

HERNDON, VA -- Three teens face serious charges after they robbed a minor who tried to buy nicotine products off them, police say.

Police say that a minor victim reported to police that he gave money to three individuals he knew in the 1100 block of Crestview Drive on April 11, according to a report from the Herndon Police Department.

"Instead of purchasing the items for the victim, the suspects kept the money and threatened him with violence if he did not leave," the report states.

Police arrested 19-year-old Kevin Alexander Fernandez of Herndon on a robbery charge, and he is being held without bond. Police have also obtained warrants for Olivia Rose Lovgren Paulson and Brandon Leonel Hernandez, both 19 and of Herndon, who also face robbery charges.
