Police: Teens robbed of shoes, neck chain in Providence Place overpass
PROVIDENCE – An investigation is underway after authorities say a group of men robbed a teenager of his shoes and necklace Friday night in the overpass between the Omni Providence Hotel and the Providence Place mall.
According to police, a 15-year-old male and a 16-year-old female reported that they were robbed by three men, who demanded that the boy give them his shoes.
Security footage showed the teenagers sitting in the overpass before being approached by the group and having the shoes forcibly removed from the male’s feet and a chain ripped from his neck, the police said. His companion attempted to grab the necklace back but was pushed away as the men left down the staircase.
The teens said the suspects did not threaten them with any weapons.
