2 Boys Arrested In Gunpoint Robbery At Valley Square Shopping Center

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Two boys are in custody in connection with an armed robbery that took place at the Valley Square Shopping Center just days before the start of the new school year, police announced Wednesday.

The two boys — ages 12 and 14 — allegedly held a third boy at gunpoint and stole personal belongings on Aug. 30, Warrington police said.

Warrington Police said they launched an investigation after receiving a cyber tip from the Pennsylvania State Police regarding a video posted on social media, which showed an armed robbery involving juveniles. Authorities determined the incident happened at Valley Square Shopping Center on Easton Road.

Warrington Township Police Department executed a search warrant at a home in the 500 block of Bradford Avenue at approximately 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Police said both juvenile suspects have been taken into custody without incident. They are being detained at the Bucks County Edison Juvenile Detention Center while they await their intake hearing.

Because the suspects are juveniles, police said they will not be releasing any additional information, including the names of the juveniles involved in the incident.

Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact Detective Bernard Schaffer at BSchaffer@warringtonpd.org.
