Four young Hampton men have been charged in connection with a home-invasion robbery over the weekend in Spotsylvania County, authorities said.

Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Pearce said the incident took place Saturday evening in the 6300 block of Taverneer Lane. A 17-year-old boy was at home with his younger sibling when he was awakened by a noise at the front door.

The victim told police that three suspects entered the home, grabbed him and demanded money. It was unclear where the fourth suspect was at the time.

Pearce said that after the victim gave them an undisclosed amount of money, they dragged him through the home while demanding more money and other property. After complying with their demands, the victim and his sibling were put into a closet and the suspects fled. The teen called 911 and gave police a description of the suspects, and deputies converged on the area. A gun was displayed during the incident, but neither victim was injured.

Pearce said witnesses saw young men running in the area of the Traveler’s Row Shopping Center. A short time later, deputies detained the suspects, who authorities said were positively identified by the victim.
