3 juveniles arrested for botched robbery that left boy shot, injured
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Three juveniles were arrested Monday for what police called a botched robbery that left a juvenile male shot and wounded in late May.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department announced the arrests on Facebook Friday. The robbery incident happened around 6:30 p.m. on May 10 in the 3000 block of East 10th Street. That’s on the near east side just past Rural Street.
Officers were called to the area and found two juveniles, a boy and a girl. The male was suffering a gunshot wound and was rushed to a hospital for treatment. The girl, uninjured, told police that shortly before the shooting, she’d been robbed.

- Dangerous possession of a firearm
- Juvenile 3 – arrested in the 2500 block of West Washington Street

IMPD says they will not release the ages of the suspects.
