ARLINGTON, VA — Police are investigating after they say a group of three boys who may have been as young as 13 threatened and then robbed someone sitting at an outside table in Pentagon City.

Police were called to the 1100 block of S. Hayes Street at around 3:48 p.m. on Oct. 31 to a report of a robbery, according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.

"[T]he victim was sitting at an outside table when he was approached by the three suspects, one of whom asked the victim a question and sat down with him," the report states.
