A 17-year-old Davis boy is in custody on suspicion of robbing another teen, Davis police said Wednesday.

\n

Lt. Paul Doroshov said the suspect, whose name was not released because he is a minor, is believed to have assaulted the 16-year-old victim and robbed him of his iPod on Dec. 10 at the Windmere Apartments, 3030 Fifth St.

\n

The two teens are familiar with one another, Doroshov said. The suspect was arrested Tuesday in Orangevale and lodged at Yolo County Juvenile Hall on the robbery charge.
