COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Authorities have arrested four teens in connection with seven armed robberies in Colorado Springs, including one that left a liquor store owner dead.
The Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/2mYd0tN) that a 16-year-old was arrested Tuesday, while the three other suspects, ages 13, 18 and 19 were arrested last week.
They all have been accused of aggravated robbery. Two of them are also facing murder charges for the February death of Donat Herr.
Herr had been preparing to close his store, Empire Liquors, when he was shot during an armed robbery.
The teens are suspected of wearing masks and carrying weapons as they demanded cash from the liquor store and several other convenience stores.
Police say they are investigating more than 80 robberies that have taken place in Colorado Springs this year.
