The two 15-year-olds are each charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree assault, fifth-degree larceny and criminal mischief. Police didn’t release their names due to their age.
The 16-year-old had left a laundromat on Pacific Street and was watching a movie on his cellphone just after 2 p.m. when a teen ran up and grabbed the phone from him, police said.
The suspect began playing catch with the phone with the second suspect, according to the police report, Sgt. Robert Shawinsky said.
“There was a little tussle back and forth as [the victim] was trying to get the phone back,” Shawinsky said.
Officers were called, and the teens were arrested nearby and the cellphone was recovered, Shawinsky said.
