On September 10 two teenage men were arrested for recent robberies occurring near the Corner. Charlottesville police say the third suspect turned himself in a few days later. The men were charged with robbery and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
According to NBC29, University President Teresa Sullivan said, “Our community is safer because of the officers’ tireless efforts to bring the alleged perpetrators to justice.
