JOHNSON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas teen on multiple allegations after an arrest.

Just after 6p.m. Sunday, police responded to the report of an armed robbery in the 9600 block of Monrovia in Lenexa, according to a media release.

The victim told officers she was preparing to unload items from her car after shopping when a masked individual approached her at the back of her car. The suspect pointed a handgun at the victim, demanding her phone and rifling through her pockets. The suspect fled the scene, however over the next several hours, police developed a potential suspect.

At around midnight on December 4, officers took a 15-year-old boy  into custody. Officers also recovered the victim's stolen property. The Johnson County District Attorney's Office has since charged this suspect with aggravated robbery and possession of a firearm.
