SPRINGDALE, Ohio — Three juveniles have been arrested after police said they robbed people in multiple jurisdictions.
In a release, the Springdale Police Department said a 911 call reported that a person had been assaulted and robbed at gunpoint in the 1100 block of Chesterdale Drive at around 5:30 a.m. Thursday. Keenan Riordan, a Springdale police officer, said a suspect pistol whipped the person before stealing their wallet.

The caller said the suspects fled in a yellow vehicle, which police were able to identify as a Ford Mustang through the department's Flock Safety camera system.
Around an hour later, the Cincinnati Police Department reported an aggravated robbery involving gunfire near the intersection of East Tower Drive and Queen City Avenue. The suspects' vehicle matched the Ford Mustang connected to the robbery in Springdale.
Flock cameras detected the vehicle driving near East Kemper and Chesterdale roads at around 6:45 a.m. Thursday. A Springdale police officer located the vehicle, and other officers were called to the scene as a pursuit began.
Springdale police said the pursuit lasted around 10 minutes and stopped on the collector ramp from northbound I-75 to westbound I-275 after the suspects crashed, according to Riordan. The three suspects got out of the car and fled on foot into a wooded area.
"They bailed out of the car before it was even stopping. It had a flat tire, so it was disabled, so the speeds were probably much slower," he said. "We had drones up, we had canines working the scene ... and then a large perimeter of officers who were able to come and help and kind of cordon off the perimeter."
By around 7:30 a.m., Springdale police located all three suspects and took them into custody.
"This was sort of complex," Riordan said. "We worked well with all our surrounding agencies, so that worked out well. It was a little bit of all over the place today."
Riordan said in addition to the alleged robberies in Cincinnati and Springdale, the suspects are believed to have been involved in a robbery incident in West Chester, "which is right up the road in an apartment complex, just about a mile away," from the Springdale robbery location.
The car they used had been reported stolen from Deerfield Township.
All three are charged with aggravated robbery, felonious assault and receiving stolen property in Springdale. The suspect who was driving the car was also charged with failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer. Additional charges are expected to be filed by Cincinnati and West Chester police.
"The reality is, is it worth it to steal somebody's wallet and now you know, potentially spend years in prison?" Riordan said. "Doesn't seem worth it to me."
The three suspects are currently at the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center.
