A teenager allegedly robbed Wednesday said it had happened before. In fact, the people who had robbed him did it again because they weren't happy with how it went down the first time.
"You owe us $40," one of them is alleged to have said after catching up with the 15-year-old victim as he walked on Westport Avenue with friends. They felt the teen hadn't emptied his pockets the first time, according to the Norwalk police report.
The victim had been having lunch with two friends at the McDonald's on Westport Avenue at about 2 p.m. When they left, the two alleged robbers followed them.
The two alleged robbers caught up to the victim in front of Nine West. They were allegedly planning to fight, but the victim handed over $30 to avoid it. The victim also promised to get them a cell phone, because they said he owed it to them, police said. No violence was reported.
Later the victim told his parents. The family went to police headquarters at 7:28 p.m. Thursday to report the incident. After an investigation, police arrested a 16-year-old suspect and Brian Martinez, 21, of 379 Westport Ave. Martinez was charged with robbery, conspiracy and injury, risk, impairing morals. Bond was set at $500.
