On September 2, 2025, around 5:15 p.m., police monitoring a retail hub in the 3600 block of Portage Avenue were alerted to an armed robbery in progress. Officers quickly entered the store, arresting two suspects — one armed with a gun — and took two more into custody nearby.

Investigators say four teens filled backpacks with merchandise and tried to leave without paying. When security intervened, one suspect pointed a handgun, demanded release of another, and fired a shot that narrowly missed. The weapon was later identified as a C02 airgun.
