{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Three teens -- between 14 and 15 years old -- were arrested and charged with multiple felonies in connection with a string of robberies and a carjacking that happened in broad daylight, police in Minneapolis said.
Authorities made the arrests after viewing surveillance that showed a group of six teenagers in hoodies and masks robbing a woman who owned a gift store called 14 Hill, near E. 48th Street and Chicago Avenue, in broad daylight Tuesday, FOX9 reported.

Chad Stamps, the store owner's husband, told the local news outlet that the suspects "pushed her down and then they opened up the cash register and took the cash and ran out of there."
When the woman tried to flee to a next-door business, the suspects followed her, punching another business owner in the face, and making off with the woman's purse and her car.

Frustrated business owners say they worry that the offenders could return.
