South Jersey Teens Hold Up Mister Softee Ice Cream Truck
GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ (AP) -- Authorities say a Mister Softee ice cream truck driver was held up by two teens and a 20-year-old in a southern New Jersey suburb.
The haul was just $20. And the suspects didn't get far.
Police tell The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill that two suspects approached the truck in Sicklerville around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday and said they wanted ice cream. Police say a third suspect then emerged with a gun and demanded money.
The driver alerted police who quickly found the suspects in the neighborhood.
The adult, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old are charged with robbery and other crimes.
Police say the weapon turned out to be a BB gun.
