On Saturday morning, officers were called to the 100 block of Charlotte Drive in Laurel, where a man was supposed to meet a pair of teens to sell them shoes that were promoted on Instagram, authorities say.

A meeting was arranged to purchase the item, but instead, police say that a 14-year-old and 15-year-old became aggressive with the seller, took out a handgun, stole the property and left.

According to investigators, the two Laurel teens were quickly tracked down and placed under arrest. Charges are pending.
