The suspects, whose ages ranged from 16 to 19, had been wanted since the incident that took place at 8:45 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 5, outside the store in the 500 block of South State Highway 123 Bypass.
The suspects went up to the 15-year-old’s Dodge Charger and forced him and his 16-year-old female passenger out of the car, police said.
