CommentsTacoma police arrested a teenage girl this week for allegedly helping her friends beat, tie up and rob her grandmother.
The girl and three other juveniles were booked into Remann Hall juvenile detention center for investigation of robbery, authorities said. Their ages could not be determined Friday.
Authorities contend the three girls, a boy and a 20-year-old man on Wednesday bound the woman with duct tape and pummeled her with kitchen pots and pans, then took her car and other items.
The attack allegedly took place in the woman’s home in the 6000 block of South Gove Street.
Detectives believe the girl and her friends may be so-called “Juggalos,” followers of the band Insane Clown Posse who are sometimes known to engage in criminal activity.
The juveniles could be charged as early as Monday, said Sue Sholin, a Pierce County deputy prosecutor.
The man who allegedly took part in the incident was charged Friday with one count of first-degree robbery.
Matthew Richard White pleaded not guilty and was ordered jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail.
