A 15-year-old boy told Horry County police three suspects checked his pockets and robbed him of his cellphone at gunpoint Wednesday night.
The teen was “visibly upset” when he told officers about the incident about 7 p.m. on the 200 block of Ivystone Drive, according to a police report.
He told authorities he was skateboarding in the Ivystone Apartment Complex parking lots when three males waved him down. He thought one of them was his friend, but realized he was mistaken when he got closer to the group.
The trio surrounded him, and one of the suspects reached into the victim’s pockets, asked him what he had, and pushed him to the ground.
