TACOMA, Wash. -- Police say a group of armed teenagers wearing blue bandanas robbed children and adults in six holdups on Halloween in Tacoma.
Tacoma police Lt. Gerry Lerum said the muggers took wallets, back packs and cell phones when they confronted parents and children between 8 p.m and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
An 11-year-old victim also had a bag of candy taken from him, but Lerum said the thieves were "just taking anything that the victims surrendered."
One of the robbers was armed with a loaded .22-caliber handgun, Lerum said.
A police dog tracked them to a car near the intersection of S. 15th and S. Sprague Ave. where officers arrested all six suspects. Police also recovered the stolen items and seized the masks and a gun used in the robberies.
"I truly feel it would have escalated if they would have not been arrested," Lerum said.
The suspects - ages 13 to 17 - were booked into Remann Hall, the Pierce County juvenile detention facility.

Glad these punks got caught but seriously doubt any real time will be served given they are juveniles. Stayed home and handed out candy with the GF but had my 1911 on the hip myself....pretty safe neighborhood but you never know who's going to be at your door.....
If you took the kiddos trick or treating were you OCing?
