Three children were robbed of their electric scooters Sunday at a North Miami Beach shopping plaza while heading to a Ross store. A group of teens on bicycles surrounded them in the parking lot, demanding the scooters. One 14-year-old victim said he was pushed to the ground after telling a suspect to stop touching his scooter. Two of the three scooters, valued at over $1,000, were stolen. Security footage captured the confrontation. One child ran inside the mall to call 911, but the suspects fled before police arrived. North Miami Beach police confirmed they are investigating. Parents are demanding accountability, with one father saying consequences need to be made public so others get the message.
