Because of the ages involved in this crime, the suspects' and victim's names are not being released.

 No injuries were reported.

Allegedly, one of the suspects was angry at the victim because the victim had assaulted him in the past.  The suspects located the victim at a residence and committed the robbery, according to the police report.
