The man paid for an item with $100 bill and then wanted to make change. The man was described a being in his 40's or 50's with gray hair and a scruffy appearance appear-ance and wearing a cast on his left aim. He was driving driv-ing a white Plymouth mini van. He was accompanied by a Polynesian male with long hair in a pony tail. There was an armed robbery Saturday evening at about 6:30 PM at the Speedy Turtle gas station located at 1594 S. State. A man described as being in his early 20's, heavy set, and wearing a bandana over his face entered the store and flashed a handgun hand-gun to the clerk. He took an undisclosed amount of currency from the cash register reg-ister and fled on foot toward the ' Village Apartments at 1675 S. 400 E. He was not located. Anyone with information pertaining to this crime should contact the Orem Department ;of Public Safety at 229-7081. At about the same time the robbery report came in, a woman leaving the University Mall Saturday reported that she had been shot in the eye by a soft air pellet fired by a group of juvenile boys driving driv-ing past her in the Mall parking lot. Paramedics treated the woman, who fortunately was struck just below her eye and did not sustain any permanent damage to her sight. She was able to see that the vehicle the boys were in was an older model red and black truck with a partial plate of 4492. We'd love to get a call (229-7070) from anyone who knows who these boys are or who may happen to hear these boys talking or bragging about what they did at the Mall Saturday evening. 62403 A 24-year-old Orem man reported that he was trying to sleep last night at about 1:00 and got tired of listening to three men in the parking lot of the Pinnacle Apartments complex com-plex with their car stereo cranked up loud. He went down to the parking lot and asked the men to please turn down the music. The men, obviously intoxicated, swore at the complainant and then one of them smacked the complainant in the mouth. The complainant com-plainant went to call the police and the three drunks got into a green Nissan Xterra and left. A 18-year-old man, of Orem, called the department depart-ment early this morning just after 2:00 AM to report that someone was trying to break into his apartment through the door and also then tried getting ' in through a window. Officers arrived shortly thereafter but the would-be intruder had slipped away. We figured fig-ured the bad guy must have really been there though, because why would he have called us when he knew he had a $300 warrant war-rant out for his arrest and invite the officers into the apartment to spot a marijuana mari-juana pipe that was left sitting sit-ting on the kitchen counter. Dennis Cordner a suspicious car Sgt. spotted early this morning leaving the Gold Gym parking lot (800 S. State) with no lights on. He stopped the car. It was suspicious all right, the driver was only 12-years-old and the oldest of the six passengers in the car was only 14. The car had been taken from home without the parents knowing. know-ing. All the kids were charged with curfew and turned over to their parents. par-ents. The driver of the car and his 11 -year-old brother, who was a passenger, were taken to a detention facility after their parents refused to accept custody of them for the night. The parents expressed frustration over all the mischief the boys seem to get into. The two boys have 63 incidents on their juvenile histories between the two of them.
