Anne Arundel County police were called to the Marley Station Mall around 3 p.m., Wednesday, April 5 after reports of an attempted robbery.
When officers got to the scene, the victim advised them that two 13-year-old boys had approached them and demanded property with their hands over their waistbands as if they had guns.
The victim reportedly told the teens he didn't have anything on him and walked toward the mall entrance and was followed by the suspects.
The suspects retreated when the victim's mother approached them and they were taken into custody by police a short time later.
