Five juveniles charged with armed robbery of Bowie teens

Nicco Settles, 16, of Landover, Calvin Alonzo Franklin Jr., 17, of Temple Hills, Andrew Tyrone Kelly, 17, of District Heights, Ricmar Gray, 17, of District Heights and Anthony Dante Smith, 17, of District Heights are all charged with armed robbery and will have their preliminary hearings in Prince George's County District Court on Monday.

The five are accused of robbing four teenagers at gunpoint. Two male and two female victims were walking home around midnight when they were approached by the five juveniles at the intersection of Nottinghill Drive and Northshire Lane. According to Bowie police reports, one of the juveniles pointed a gun at them, ordering them to put any valuables on the ground and then to take off their clothes and walk toward the rear of some nearby homes. One of the juveniles fondled a female victim's breasts, and the group of suspects stole several cell phones and a purse from the victims.

Prince George's County Police found the juveniles in a stolen car with the victims' belongings on Landover Road and arrested them shortly after the incident.
