On Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at about 9:50 p.m., Humboldt County Deputy Sheriffs responded to the 3600 block of Old Arcata Rd for a call of a male brandishing a firearm. Upon arrival, deputies met with three adult female victims and one male juvenile victim. Deputies spoke with each victim and learned two 16 year old male juvenile suspects arrived at the residence making false personal accusations toward the 15 year old male juvenile victim. Juvenile suspect #1 produced a black semi-automatic handgun and pointed it at the victims while making verbal threats. The suspects then fled on foot.

Deputies searched the area and were unable to locate the juvenile suspects. A Be-On-the-Lookout was issued for the juvenile suspects for burglary, criminal threats, brandishing a firearm, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

Suspect #1 is described as a 16 year old black male juvenile, 5’3”, 125 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes.

Suspect #2 is described as a 16 year old Hispanic male juvenile, 6’, 150 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes.
