The victim was uninjured and received his backpack and laptop back following the investigation. The names of all three suspects were not released due to their ages, police said.

The individual who committed the robbery was booked on charges of robbery and conspiracy. The two teens who stood by and watched the robbery were cited with conspiracy, accessory to robbery and resisting a peace officer.
