Armed teens rob $1 from Massachusetts store, then flee

BROCKTON, Mass. — Two suspects made an unusually small request as they robbed a store in Massachusetts by demanding a single dollar in their robbery.

Police say the teenagers entered the Brockton Market and Deli around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday while brandishing large hunting-style knives and demanded a single dollar. The men then fled.

The two men were described as Hispanic and possibly between the ages of 15 and 18. No arrests have been made.

Police said the pair face a much higher penalty or fine than the amount they stole.
