Following a lengthy investigation, Lawrence Police arrested
and charged a 19 year old Lawrence man in connection with two separate armed
robberies involving a firearm. A 17 year old juvenile also from Lawrence
turned himself into Essex County Juvenile Court in relation to the same two
incidents. During the first incident, a male suffered a non-life
threatening injury and arrived on his own at Holy Family in Methuen. The
second incident involved a carjacking during which a shot was fired. There
were no injuries reported from that incident.
Both individuals involved have been arraigned and charged
with armed robbery, assault with intent to murder and several firearms related
charges.
