CRIME: SUSPECTS HELD IN ROBBERIES

Four men have been arrested for allegedly asking drivers for rides to a gas station and then robbing them. In one case a victim was left nude in the street.

The robberies occurred last month near Capaha Park.

Arthur Lajuan Ivy, 18, and Gerald Lee Ivy, 17, both of 917 S. Pacific St., are charged with two counts of second-degree robbery and two counts of felonious restraint.

Ladonn A. Smith, 19, of 504 S. West End Boulevard, also was charged with two counts of second-degree robbery and two counts of felonious restraint.

Bonds for all three men were set at $30,000.

They are charged with stealing a wallet and a driver's license from a man on Oct. 30 and stealing money and a 35mm camera on Oct. 31.

John Henry Harris Jr., 17, of 805 S. Sprigg St. was charged with one count of second-degree robbery and one count of felonious restraint in connection with the Oct. 31 incident.

In that incident, the driver was forced to remove his clothes and left at the intersection of Lexington and LaCroix streets, police said. He walked to an acquaintance's house to call police, and his car was later found in the 1000 block of South Pacific Street. It had been set afire.

Harris' bond was set at $20,000.
