Two teenage boys are charged in the strong-arm robbery of a 9-year-old in the child's own yard, according to police.

Haverford police say the two teens took a Red Rider scooter from the boy while he was playing in his yard in the 500 block of Twin Oaks Drive just after 9 p.m. last Friday.

Details of the incident have not yet been released by police, but a police report calls the it a "strong arm" robbery. Usually that means police believe there is evidence or witness information of (at least a small) struggle over the scooter before it was taken from the child.
