A 14-year-old has been arrested in connection with a broad-daylight armed robbery against two children running a lemonade stand in South Boston this week. 

The victims were identified as twelve-year-old David Byrne and his 11-year-old sister.

“He walked over here, he said, ‘I might need to take the box,’ and he grabbed it with one hand, and then he showed us the gun,” 12-year-old David said. “My sister, she put her hands up and I just said, ‘You can have it.’ But after that I just was like a little annoyed because we were 12 and 11, and you shouldn’t really do that.”

The kids’ father, Dave, described the incident as “outrageous,” adding, “I think we need some more presence around to in order for this to never happen again.”

“I’m pretty disgusted with it. They’re young children,” he added, according to CBS. “It was in the middle of broad daylight.”

Others in the community have organized to support the kids’ venture.

Video from the area showed the two suspects who stole a cash box and flashed a firearm at the victims.

Per the Boston Police Department:

On June 12, 2026, detectives assigned to District C-6 (South Boston) arrested a 14-year-old juvenile male in South Boston. The suspect is expected to be arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court on charges of Delinquent to wit; Armed Robbery (two counts) and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm (two counts).

The facts and circumstances of the initial incident are as follows:

At approximately 4:44 PM on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, officers assigned to District C-6 (South Boston) responded to a radio call for an armed robbery in the area of West Ninth Street in South Boston.

Upon arrival, officers spoke to the victims, two children who had been operating a lemonade stand at the aforementioned location. The victims stated that the unknown suspects made several passes by the stand before approaching and asking whether Apple Pay would be accepted as payment.

Before the victims could respond, the suspects grabbed a box containing U.S. currency. One suspect then displayed a black firearm in his waistband before both individuals fled the area.
