Teens Charged In Utica Fastrac Robbery

Two Utica teens have been arrested for allegedly robbing a local convenience store at gunpoint.

Utica Police say 16-year old Hamadi Muya and a 14-year old boy entered the Fastrac on Oneida Street at around 4:00 Tuesday morning and threatened the clerk with a handgun.

A UPD officer spotted one of the suspects from the robbery riding his bike on James Street early Wednesday morning.  The second suspect was then located and taken into custody.

Muya and the 14-year old were both charged with first-degree robbery.
