Buford teens arrested in connection to armed robbery of pizza delivery man

Two Buford teenagers have been arrested in Hall County after the armed robbery of a pizza delivery man on Tuesday.
 
The 14 and 15 year olds reportedly used a handgun replica to rob the pizza delivery man after he attempted to deliver to an invalid address on Orchard Way, near the 4000 block of Lanier Islands Parkway, according to Hall County Sheriff's Office spokesman Derreck Booth.
 
Booth said the driver was met by the two teens, one of which pulled out the handgun after the victim handed the pizza over, then pressed it against the victim's chest. The delivery driver pushed the gun away and drove off while the teens ran away.
 
Around 10 p.m., roughly an hour after the initial call, deputies searching the area found the suspects and arrested them without incident at a residence on Walnut Trace. They also located the replica handgun.
 
Booth was not able to disclose which pizza delivery company the victim worked for.
 
Both juveniles were taken to the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center. Each are charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault.
