Four Juveniles Arrested with KCSO Assistance Following Armed Robbery on Forest Avenue

At around 4 a.m. this morning (September 18, 2022), Knoxville Police Department officers responded to the 2200 block of Forest Avenue to investigate an armed robbery. Officers arrived on scene and met with the two male victims, who reported that they were robbed at gunpoint by multiple suspects. Following the robbery, the suspects reportedly fled the scene in an SUV.

A detailed description of the suspect vehicle was quickly developed as well as a possible location where the suspects could be found. Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies subsequently responded to the address on Hickory Woods Road in west Knoxville, located the car and detained four juvenile males.

Upon further investigation, three of the suspects were charged with aggravated robbery, while all four were charged with weapon and drug charges.

A big thanks to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in the successful resolution of this incident.
