All four suspects worked to steal a large quantity of high-end alcohol, spraying the employees with a chemical agent and hitting them with glass bottles, police said. They drove away from the scene in a Nissan Altima before officers arrived.

Investigators later found the suspects are part of a larger organized crime ring, police said. The teens were later caught and arrested Tuesday after a similar robbery at a Walgreens in Davie.
