A Vicksburg juvenile faces charges in Vicksburg and Warren County following a strong-arm robbery Sunday that involved another man and a residential burglary that involved two other teens, officials said today.

Separately, a fourth person was arrested after giving the other three a ride.

The robbery was reported just before noon in the 2700 block of Alma Street, said police Capt. Bobby Stewart. A 17-year-old told police he was assaulted by the 16-year-old and an adult male who then stole his Murray go-cart, valued at $600. The juvenile was arrested just after noon at a residence on Lummie Street, but police were still seeking the adult, Stewart said this morning.

The go-cart was recovered at the Lummie Street residence.

Separately, the juvenile, another 16-year-old and a 15-year-old are believed responsible for a residential burglary reported Sunday in the 4900 block of Gibson Road, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

The resident reported returning home around 11:45 a.m. and finding a .38-caliber revolver valued at $200, an HP laptop computer valued at $500 and several items of jewelry valued at about $10,000 missing from the home, said Pace.

Investigator Stacy Rollison identified the first 16-year-old and went to his home, where she was told the teen was already in custody at the police station for the strong-arm robbery, Pace said.

Pace said all items from the Gibson Road burglary except one pair of earrings had been recovered, plus other items the resident had not yet discovered missing.

The other teens were identified and later charged. All three were being held at the Juvenile Detention Center, said the sheriff.

Also arrested in the county burglary was Julius Deshaun Mobley, 19, 4900 Rollingwood Estates, who is accused of driving the younger teens to Lummie Street with the loot, said Pace.

Mobley is charged with being an accessory after the fact to burglary, said the sheriff. Mobley was in the Warren County Jail this morning without bond pending an initial appearance in justice court.
