The 14-year-old male is also charged with two counts of armed robbery in connection to two separate armed robbery incidents near the Georgia Southern University campus.Three of the suspects live at the same North College Street address.Investigators from the Statesboro Police Criminal Investigation Division and the Crime Suppression Unit, upon obtaining information about the crimes, executed a search warrant earlier this week at the North College Street home.
