DURHAM (WTVD) -- Three teens are charged with a brazen robbery at a Durham sportswear store.

Eighteen-year-old Naeem Deonte Jones and Demonte Meadows, along with a 13-year-old accomplice, are charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and two counts of second-degree kidnapping.

Durham police say the teens burst into Soletez Boutique on the 4400 block of Roxboro Street Friday night.

Employees tell cops the three men had guns drawn, demanding money and shoes.

Investigators say the thieves duct taped employees hands and feet.

Officers found the trio hiding in the bathroom when they arrived.

Jones and Meadows were both placed in Durham County Jail under $250,000 bonds.
