🎳 Armed robbery at Thunderbird Lanes
A 16-year-old Warminster boy faces seven felony charges after allegedly robbing a Montgomery County high school student at gunpoint behind the Thunderbird Lanes bowling alley.
The juvenile was being held in Bucks County Jail on 10% of $750,000 bail as of last week. He is a former football player at William Tennent High. Warminster cops learned about the March 9 incident after the victim spoke with Upper Gwynedd Police regarding an unrelated matter.
The victim said he had previously bought specialty clothing from a friend. He attempted to make a second purchase and was instructed to meet the defendant instead for the transaction, leading to the robbery of $600 in cash. The defendant’s brother was also allegedly present.
