Dumb Criminals: Teenager Robs Elderly Veteran, Caught By Mom In The Process
A Kansas City mother saw her son on surveillance video robbing an 85-year-old military veteran, and she turned him in at a Kansas City police station, authorities said Monday.
The surveillance video of the veteran being robbed twice upset many in the Kansas City area. The disabled man was badly beaten the first time, and two days later a group of nine teens and young men came to his home to rob him.
According to court documents, the man feared for his life and didn't resist the second time. His home surveillance video showed that Michael Bray, 18, stood at the door, pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it at the elderly man, according to court documents.
The others ran into the home and stole a rifle, handgun, thousands of rounds of ammunition and a smartphone.
