WARREN Two Trumbull County 18-year-olds face serious charges for allegedly robbing a vape store in Warren.

A Trumbull County grand jury indicted Alivia Spitzer of Cortland and Kelly Sexton of Warren on charges of aggravated robbery, according to court records. The charges are first degree felonies.

The charges stem from a July 14 robbery at Vapor Kings on Elm Road NE in Warren.

According to a Warren Police Department incident report, a suspect wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a black ski mask rode up on a motorized scooter, entered the store, brandished a pistol, and demanded items from an employee.

Surveillance video from the store shows the employee with both hands raised during the alleged holdup.

 

 

The report states the suspect stole two jars of hemp flower and a carton of small cigars before fleeing on the scooter.

According to the prosecution, Spitzer and Sexton had driven the armed suspect to and from the scene. The prosecution says the armed suspect in the surveillance video is a juvenile.

Both pleaded not guilty during their arraignments on Thursday. Judge Ronald J. Rice set bond for both at $50,000, with conditions of house arrest if the suspects are released.

 

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 23.
