PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Two teens have been arrested and two others are wanted for robbing a 15-year-old inside a bathroom on a high school campus in Woodbridge.

According to the Prince William County Police Department, a school resource officer at Freedom High School on Neabsco Mills Road learned a student had been robbed inside a campus bathroom just before 8:45 a.m. on June 14. 

The 15-year-old victim was inside the restroom when six other students walked into the bathroom. Investigators say a confrontation began and the victim was hit and robbed by the other boys. The victim received minor injuries in the robbery.

One of the suspects, only identified as a 15-year-old boy, was detained by the school resource officer after the reported robbery. Two more suspects, another 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy, were detained later that day off school grounds. 

Charges were filed for the three remaining suspects, identified as two 17-year-old students and 18-year-old Jerome Okine Amartey. All three have since been arrested. 

The suspects have all been charged with robbery.
