Police say they have arrested a third suspect in a robbery ring in Brooklyn that resulted in the shooting of a 20-year-old man who tried to rob a plain-clothed NYPD officer.
Police have released the identity of all three suspects.
They say 20-year-old Altron Atwater faces robbery, grand larceny, menacing and other charges, while 16-year-old Demeris Pittman and 15-year-old Paul Moore have also been charged.
Police say the men are part of a ring of teen robbers who set up scam apartment listings in Bed-Stuy and then rob unsuspecting victims who come to see the listing.
Police say Atwater, who was shot while attempting to rob a NYPD detective with a BB gun is expected to be OK.
