Two Columbia youths were charged with attempted robbery Tuesday night after a pizza store reported a suspicious phone order and Howard County police responded to the address.
Employees at the Pizza Boli's store on Oakland Mills Road called police at 8:40 p.m. Police traced the number and found that the call had been made from a pay phone.
Plainclothes officers went to the 5400 block of Emberend Terrace in Long Reach, where the pizza was to be delivered, and spotted two teen-agers. Police said a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old were carrying rubber gloves, masks and a BB gun shaped like a 9-mm handgun.
