Kent Police have signed charges and taken into custody a suspect involved in a robbery at a vape shop late last month, department officials said.

The 17-year-old suspect is connected with an armed robbery that took place at Flash Vapes in Kent on May 28.

Authorities said they followed leads and tips and went to a Brimfield Township home on June 1 to speak with the suspect, leading them to take him into custody.

The suspect allegedly entered the vape store, pointed a gun, demanded money and merchandise, and then fled the area on foot.
