WOODBRIDGE, VA — Prince William County police arrested three teenagers last Friday in connection with an armed robbery of a Woodbridge 7-Eleven in the early morning hours of Aug. 10. The three teenagers were charged with robbery and use of a firearm in commission of a felony, the police said.

In its initial report, the Prince William County Police Department said three masked men, all brandishing firearms, robbed the 7-Eleven at 1701 Featherstone Road in Woodbridge, fleeing with stolen goods and money. As it turned out, two of the suspects are 17-year-old males and one is a 14-year-old male, all from the Woodbridge area, according to the police.

Following their investigation, Prince William County police detectives obtained detention orders for the three juveniles who were subsequently arrested without incident. The three are being held at the Prince William juvenile detention center, with their court dates pending.

During the investigation, a store employee told police that three unknown men entered the store around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 10 at which point two of them approached the counter while the third stayed by the front door. All three men brandished firearms before the two near the counter demanded money and tobacco products. The suspects fled on foot in the direction of Reddy Drive before police arrived.
