Three juveniles were arrested following attempted robberies Wednesday morning in Hopkinsville.
The first incident happened just before 5 a.m. when a woman said she went to her mailbox on Anthony Drive and two males wearing masks and armed with metal pipes approached her demanding money. They then ransacked her car, but took only business cards.
The woman’s ex-husband then chased them away and they ran to Circle K on Russellville Road.
That’s where they allegedly assaulted a clerk with broom handle while demanding money. The clerk sustained visible injuries, but declined a trip to the hospital.
A report says the juveniles fled and hid in a wooded area near Hubbardsville Lane.
The juveniles, whose names are not released because of their age, were located and arrested for first-degree robbery.
