Southie lemonade-stand robbery ends in arrest of 14-year-old
TL;DR
A 14-year-old boy was arrested in South Boston in connection with an armed robbery of a lemonade stand run by two children. Police are still searching for a second suspect. The juvenile faces two counts of armed robbery and two counts of unlawful firearm possession and is expected to be arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court. The cash box was recovered empty after the heist, and the stand’s reopening drew community support, with half of the proceeds slated for a gun-violence prevention group.
