Boston police investigate an armed robbery targeting a children’s lemonade stand in South Boston. Multiple reports say the incident happened in broad daylight and involved two siblings running the stand—an 11-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy—when masked suspects allegedly approached and displayed a firearm. The suspects reportedly stole cash from the stand, with accounts describing the amount as about $50 and about $80. Police later arrested a 14-year-old boy and charged him with multiple offenses, including armed robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to reports citing court and police information. Authorities say they continue to search for a second suspect, described as one of two boys involved in the robbery. Reported details vary slightly across outlets regarding the stolen amount and the age of the suspects, but all describe the same core event: a gun was shown during the robbery and the victims were children operating a lemonade stand. The investigation remains ongoing as police look for the remaining suspect.
