Posted

Deltona, FL - Three teens ranging from ages 14 to 16 have been charged in connection to a crime spree that includes one Volusia location.

Their spree began on May 16th close to 10 p.m. with a carjacking in an Orlando CVS parking lot.

The defendants then stole another vehicle in Leesburg, before heading to Sanford where they committed their first armed robbery at a Kangaroo gas station.

They then robbed a Deltona RaceTrac gas station before returning to Orange County early in the morning.

That spree eventually ended with their apprehension in Sumter County.

The three defendants are all teenagers from the Orlando area, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Those teens are 16-year-old Peter Christian, 15-year-old Vontavious Thomas and 14-year-old Joshua Fluellen.

All three suspects, including one additional juvenile, were arrested following another armed robbery in the early morning hours of May 18th. That arrest was made by the Sumter County Sheriff's Office.

Before their arrest, the group fled from SCSO in their stolen vehicle, but was eventually captured following a crash.

In addition to the Volusia and Sumter cases, the suspects are also facing charges for the carjackings in Orange County and Leesburg and the armed robberies in Orange and Sanford.
