Police identify four teens involved in armed robbery

Van Buren Township Director of Public Safety Gregory Laurain announced on May 1 that the four males involved in the April 9 armed robbery of two 10-year-old boys have been identified.
The boys told police that four male subjects were involved — two white and two black — in the robbery of a cell phone at the park of Belleville Manor, 8701 Belleville Road, in Van Buren Township.
Director Laurain said through the investigation by Van Buren Police Detectives and with assistance from Belleville Police Cpl. Kris Faull and Belleville High School Assistant Principal Dan Wright, all four subjects were identified.
They are:
• Ryan Klazer, white/male, 16 years old, from Belleville, a BHS student, charged with 2 counts of armed robbery (juvenile)
• Quinston Brown, black/male, 15 years old, from Ypsilanti, BHS student, charged with 2 counts of armed robbery (juvenile)
• Devonte Richard, black/male, 16 years old, from Van Buren Township, former BHS student, not charged with any crime
• Keegan Delaney, white/male, 17 years old, from Van Buren Township, BHS student, charged with 2 counts of armed robbery (adult)
Residents of Victoria Commons in Belleville watched as the investigation proceeded in their neighborhood.
One woman said she saw VBT police kicking in a door in the subdivision and when she asked about it she said a police officer told her it had to do with the two boys who got robbed.
Later, another Victoria Commons resident said he saw a black Challenger driving into the subdivision and the car the armed robbers was driving was reported to be a black Challenger. He said there were three or four people crowded in the car and one threw trash out the car window and seven to eight houses down someone got out of the car.
He said he picked up the trash and found it to be a cellphone case. He turned it into police and it was sent to the Michigan State Police to study as evidence.
“All because they littered,” he said.
