Three teens were allegedly involved in the attempted robbery of a 75-year-old Tifton man Sunday, according to incident reports obtained from the Tifton Police Department.

According to the reports, the victim told police that a 14-year-old female called him Sunday and asked him if she could come clean his home, a service that she had reportedly performed in the past. He declined the offer and told her that she could come later to clean, the report states.

Some time later, the man heard a knock at his Eighth Street carport door. When he answered the same 14-year-old female was standing there with another 14-year-old female that the complainant knew.

The report states that the man opened the door and allowed the girls to enter his home. As they were talking, another knock came at his carport door. The man opened the door, the report states, and an unknown, young white male entered the home wearing a blue bandanna around his face.

The complainant told police that the man demanded $200 from him for “propositioning her,” referring to one of the girls. The complainant refused to give the man money, he told police.

At that point, the masked man drew closer to the victim and allegedly threatened to cut him with the knife that he was carrying.

The complainant told police that one of the girls grabbed the intruder by the arm and began leading him out of the home, saying, “Don’t do it.”

The victim followed them out of the home after he retrieved a hand gun for self-defense, the report states. Once the intruder saw the handgun, all three of the teens left the premises.

The two females were arrested and charged early Monday morning with aggravated assault and criminal attempt to committ armed robbery, according to a Tift County Sheriff’s Office jail booking report.

The investigation is ongoing in the case, according to TPD detectives, and more arrests are expected.
