On Tuesday evening at 8:34 pm, Paris Police officers responded to a theft report in the 600 block of Bonham St. A juvenile suspect entered a store, knocked down a glass case, and stole vape pens. After leaving, the suspect returned, assaulted the owner, and took more pens.
The officer identified the suspect from in-store video footage and subsequently went to the suspect's residence, recovering some of the stolen property and taking the juvenile into custody.
The suspect has been charged with Robbery, a Felony. It was later revealed that the same juvenile had been involved in a similar theft incident earlier in the day in the 200 block of N. Main.
Juvenile probation was notified, instructing officers to return the suspect to his parents.
