Palatine police said they have charged three teenagers—and are seeking a fourth—in connection with the assault of a 12-year-old boy with a glass ketchup bottle during a home invasion and robbery.
Palatine residents Vanessa Mejia, 17, of the 1500 block of Silver Lane, and Sendi Ocampo, 18, of the 1200 block of Long Valley Lane are charged with home invasion and armed robbery, police said.A 16-year-old girl accused of cutting the boy with the bottle is being charged as a juvenile, according to police.
The incident began around 9 p.m. on April 24, when the boy was watching television at home in the 400 block of East Osage Lane, police said.
One of the four teens approached the apartment’s front door alone and claimed to be a friend of the boy’s sister. He told her she wasn’t home and the person left, according to a police release.
That person returned to the house about 10 minutes later with the three other females and asked to use the bathroom, police said. The boy let them in and after he turned his back, the teen girl hit him in the back with the empty glass ketchup bottle that she brought with her, according to police.
“It was a pretty big cut,” said Palatine Police Sgt. Dave Weeks.
The victim was taken to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights with multiple, non-life-threatening cuts, police said.
