The New London Police Department arrested three people on Saturday morning after they allegedly stole two mopeds at gunpoint.
Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said 18-year-olds Hassan Foster-Carney, of 320 Central Ave. in Norwich, and Dwayne Miller, of 26 Jefferson Ave., were charged with first-degree robbery and third-degree larceny. A juvenile male was also arrested.
Reichard said the juvenile reportedly rode in a vehicle with other subjects and followed a moped rider, using a gun to steal the moped at about 12:40 a.m. in the Ashcraft Road area. He said the same juvenile, along with Foster-Carney and Miller, are also accused of stealing another moped at gunpoint in the Wendy's parking lot on Colman Street a few hours later.
No one was injured in either incident. Police arrested the three individuals at about 4:45 a.m. after interviews with witnesses and other information.
Foster-Carney and Miller are being held on $50,000 bonds. The juvenile was taken to a juvenile detention facility in Hartford.
