Juveniles arrested for fast food robberies across Monroe County

Gates, N.Y. — Three juveniles have been arrested for a string of robberies from fast food restaurants in Monroe County last week.

13WHAM has learned that the same teens accused of robbing Taco Bell locations in Rochester and Gates last Thursday, along with a Wendy's in Gates, also allegedly robbed a Starbucks in Penfield.

Officers responded to Wendy's on Buffalo Road for a reported robbery around 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Police said a suspect pointed a gun at a drive-thru employee while a second suspect forcefully stole money.

Shortly after that incident, police learned of a similar incident, involving suspects that matched the same description, at Taco Bell on Lake Avenue in the city.

Police then responded to Taco Bell on Lyell Avenue in Gates around 11:45 p.m. for another reported robbery. A suspect allegedly reached through the drive-thru window and stole cash. Police said the suspects matched the other two robberies.

The Starbucks incident happened shortly before 2:45 p.m. Friday on Route 441. Police said the suspects robbed an employee at a drive-thru window by forcibly taking property before fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle.

Deputies pursued the vehicle into the city, where they said the suspects left the vehicle near the Manor Parkway Apartments before fleeing on foot.

Four suspects were later taken into custody. Police said three suspects are facing charges for all four incidents.

The suspects' names are not being released due to their age.
