NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 15-year-old was arrested Wednesday after police said he set up a Facebook Marketplace meeting to buy an electric dirt bike, then robbed the seller at gunpoint.
Detectives said the teen arranged to purchase the bike over the weekend but instead took it during the encounter. Officers later found the stolen dirt bike in the teen’s backyard and returned it to the victim.
The teen is charged in juvenile court with aggravated robbery.
Police said two handguns and firearm accessories were also recovered from the teen’s bedroom.
Additional charges are anticipated as Robbery Unit detectives continue investigating similar incidents reported in recent weeks.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
