Three Columbia teenagers rob pizza delivery guy, arrested and charged

Columbia, S. C. – Three teenagers are arrested and charged after robbing a pizza delivery guy in Columbia, police confirm.

The robbery took place on Friday, Feb. 19.

Two of the robbers are under the age of 18 and their identities are not revealed. The third man is 18-year-old, Justice Isaiah Martin.

The pizza delivery man called 911 right after he ran away from the scene where he was attacked. A local neighbor helped him hide. He reported that three people approached him as he was making a delivery on Wilton Hill Road. The robbers told him to empty his pockets as one of them had a gun in his hand.

Shortly after a bunch of police cars started patrolling the area.

“We located three people matching the physical description and wearing the same clothing as described by the victim,” said police official. “We interviewed the three of them and took them into custody.”

Justice was taken to the Lexington County Detention Center. The two minors were taken to the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice.
