Juvenile suspect taken into custody following armed robbery Thursday in Colorado Springs
The Colorado Springs Police Department transported a juvenile to a detention facility on charges including robbery and felony menacing Thursday morning.
At approximately 5:45 a.m., officers with the Sand Creek division were dispatched to the area of 2300 East Boulder Street regarding a family disturbance.
As officers arrived on scene, they learned a juvenile male allegedly robbed an individual with a handgun and then fled the initial crime scene.
The investigation led to an address in the 500 block of Prairie Road where it was believed the juvenile suspect was hiding. Multiple police units surrounded the area, and the suspect was encouraged the suspect to peacefully surrender.
The suspect eventually complied and was taken into custody without incident, according to law enforcement.
Police say evidence was recovered from the scene linked the suspect to the robbery investigation.
