Members of the Juvenile Crime Task Force arrested 17-year-old Mustafa E. Ahmed and 19-year-old Asama A. Abuhamda late Thursday night after finding them in their getaway car at the Target store parking lot on Charlotte Pike.

The two are accused of robbing a 26-year-old woman as she walked to her car in the parking lot of Paddock Place shopping center on White Bridge Pike, robbing a 23-year-old man in the parking lot of Miss Saigon restaurant on Charlotte Pike and of robbing a 30-year-old woman in the parking lot of Old Navy on Charlotte Pike on Wednesday.

In two of the cases, the robber asked to use the victims’ phones before showing a gun and robbing them.

Ahmed was charged at Juvenile Court with three counts of aggravated robbery and Abuhamda was charged with three counts of acting in concert to robbery.

Abuhamda is free after posting a $60,000 bond. Ahmed is in juvenile detention.
