Woman holds children at B.B. gunpoint
Four children were arrested early Sunday after a 38-year-old woman caught them stealing from her and held them at gunpoint with a B.B. gun.
The woman told police she found the 14 year old and three 12 year olds taking her belongings from a garage on the 200 block of C Street. She confronted them with a B.B. gun, demanding they return her belongings, Lincoln Police Capt. David Beggs said.
The children brought back $595 worth of electronics and camping equipment they allegedly stole Saturday, as well as $1,670 in electronics and other items from a burglary reported Thursday at the same address.
No one was injured, and the children’s cases were referred to the Lancaster County Attorney’s Office, Beggs said.
