3 teens charged with robbery, assault in Wilmington carjacking

Two 13-year-olds and a 16-year-old are facing assault and weapons charges after police say the trio stole a car in Wilmington in late November. 

Police were called to the 1500 block of West 8th Street shortly after 9 p.m. on Nov. 20 for reports of a carjacking. Officers reportedly found the stolen vehicle a few blocks from where the alleged theft occurred. 

Three teens were taken into custody and charged with first-degree robbery, possession of a firearm, second-degree assault, and related offenses. 

Police did not provide information on the carjacking, but said the victim was treated for minor injuries.

The suspects were committed to New Castle County Detention Center on $132,500 cash-only bail.
