One woman was injured and another ran for safety in two armed robberies reported in Vicksburg during the weekend, police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

At about 5:35 p.m. Saturday, one woman told police she stopped to put air in her tire at a gas station at Hillcrest Conoco, 3886 U.S. 61 South, when a man showing a gun demanded money, Stewart said.

After turning over her wallet containing $75, the man hit her in the face and ran north on 61. She drove herself to River Region Medical Center with a swollen eye and a bloody nose and was treated and released, Stewart said.

“She’s not sure if he struck her with the gun or his fist,” Stewart said.

The second armed robbery was reported at 1:19 this morning.

A woman told police that three men wearing dark clothes, one with a gun, approached her as she walked out of Wendy’s at 2422 Clay St., Stewart said.

She told police she threw down her purse containing $30 and ran back into the building.

“The suspects picked it up and fled east on Clay to Eastview Apartments,” said Stewart.

Minutes later, patrolmen found Shaquille Ricks, 17, 4824 Gibson Road, and Conte’ Tillis, 17, 1110 Fayette St., hiding in the apartment complex parking lot at 1900 Baldwin Ferry Road and charged them with armed robbery, Stewart said.

Police are unsure of the age of the third suspect for whom they are still searching.

Tillis and Ricks were at police headquarters this morning pending an initial court appearance.

Teen faces charges of auto burglary

A teen was charged with auto burglary Sunday night after a foot chase through a neighborhood.

At about 9:20 p.m., five people were reported breaking into a vehicle that had been broken down in a parking lot at Indiana Avenue and Lee Road, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

The owner had car trouble and left the vehicle. When she returned with family, they found the burglary in progress.

Warren County deputies and Vicksburg police chased suspects through yards near the intersection, he said.

The suspects entered the vehicle by breaking a window with what appeared to be a handgun, which was not recovered, Pace said. He added a weapon and a hooded sweat shirt were discovered under a car at about 6 a.m. by a resident on Hickory Street. The gun was a pellet gun that looked like a handgun.

Pace did not believe anything was taken from the vehicle.

The teen was arrested at about 10:15 p.m. at Hickory and Kavanaugh streets and being held at the Warren County Youth Detention Facility.
