<b>Suspects arrested in pizza delivery robbery  </b>

Four teens have been arrested in connection with last month’s armed robbery of a pizza delivery driver.

Darrin Lee Peeks; Aki Daron Franklin; Donald James Franklin, II; and Robert Lee Green, Jr. (all 18 years of age) have been arrested for their involvement in the October 16 armed robbery of a Papa John’s Pizza employee.

The four teens were identified as the suspects who set up and carried out the armed robbery of a 25-year-old delivery driver. The victim advised that he was delivering an order to 2 Needles Road just after 9:30 p.m. when he was ambushed by four unknown males wearing dark clothing.

The suspects reportedly placed the order by phone, and then waited in the nearby woods for the driver to arrive. As the victim walked down the driveway, they approached, put a handgun in the victim’s face, and demanded he hand over everything he had. The victim complied, giving the suspects the food he was delivering, his wallet, and his cell phone. The suspects then fled the area, leaving the victim unharmed.

The investigation remains active at this time and additional charges may be pending.
