Armed juveniles were arrested and charged after a mall disturbance in Central Florida.
A disturbance involving armed suspects at the Brandon Mall in Tampa earlier in the summer led to the arrest of the two teens.
As deputies followed them, the juveniles discarded a backpack containing a loaded AR-15-style firearm and later threw away a handgun, according to law enforcement.
Deputies learned the suspects had threatened a victim and implied they were armed, causing her to fear for her safety.
“Armed juveniles threatening the public will face serious consequences,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister.
