GRANDVIEW, Mo. — Two more young people accused of robbing an elderly Grandview veteran of ammunition and guns turned themselves into authorities on Monday.
In all, four of nine teens have been identified as suspects and have been taken into custody for the crimes against the elderly man last week that were caught on surveillance camera.
“From what I understand, these kids just wanted to clear the air,” said Pat Clarke, Community Outreach Specialist with KCPD, said. “Do they acknowledge that they are the ones seen on the video, at least two of the ones? Well, I mean, they wouldn’t be down here if they wasn’t, that has a lot to do with it.”
On Friday, Michael Bray, 18, of Grandview was arrested after his mother reportedly recognized her son from television reports.
She took him into police and he was charged and held on $200,000 cash bond.
According to court records, Bray can be seen pulling a handgun from his pocket and pointing it at the victim, while the other suspects ran into the man’s house.
The robbery so outraged another veteran last Friday that he allegedly called police and threatened to go to a school and shoot those students responsible.
Grandview Schools were placed on perimeter lock down because of the threat.
Friday in the late afternoon, the first juvenile, a 14-year-old, was charged in Jackson County Family Court with first-degree robbery, second-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action.
