Three teens are facing serious charges after police said they stole a car and went on an armed robbery spree in Miami-Dade and Broward.
Christopher R. Molina, 18, and two 16-year-olds were arrested on armed robbery and grand theft charges following a crime spree that began when they stole a Ford Explorer in Broward on Saturday, Miami-Dade Police officials said.
After stealing the Explorer, the teens pulled off several armed robberies in Plantation, Hialeah and south Miami-Dade, police said.
Several victims called 911 to report that two ski-masked passengers exited the SUV, pointed a firearm at them, stole their cellular phones and fled the area in the same vehicle, police said.
