A Nashua teen is facing multiple charges after he allegedly threatened a store clerk while attempting to rob a local convenience store on Sunday night.

Around 9 p.m. Sunday, Nashua patrol officers arrested a 15-year-old boy after responding to a 911 hang-up call at a local convenience store. Upon arrival, officers determined that the teen had attempted to get the clerk to open the cash register by threatening to strike the clerk with a bottle.
