Two Cheyenne teens were arrested last month after officers were dispatched to Custer Street and Pawnee Avenue at about 3:45 a.m. Oct. 13 on reports of masked suspects checking vehicles. Kyrin Arthur, born 2008, is charged with felony robbery and resisting arrest.
Why it matters
The case involves multiple car break-ins in one night and recovered items including a handgun and ammunition, raising concerns about vehicle theft in the Cheyenne area. Investigators have tied at least one stolen item to a doorbell camera recording of a masked teen.
Arthur faces a felony robbery charge and a resisting arrest charge, with a burglary charge carrying a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison. His preliminary hearing on Nov. 12 will determine whether the case advances to Laramie County District Court, and the court has not yet ruled.
