Four teenagers have been arrested in Cobb County on charges of robbing cyclists on the Silver Comet trail near Austell, police said.
Three juveniles and 17-year-old Isaac Lee Kemp of Douglasville were charged with aggravated assault and robbery by force, Sgt. Dana Pierce, a Cobb police spokesman said.
The robberies occurred in mid-June on the popular biking and jogging trail near where it passes under Austell Road. Both victims were men — one 49, the other 62 — and were not seriously injured, police said.
Pierce said the four youths would block the path, then knock the rider off the bike and go through his pockets.
The three juveniles — two 14 and one 15 —lived near the trail. They were released to relatives after being charged. Kemp is held on $25,000 bond at the Cobb jail, Pierce said.
