Woman accused of first-degree robbery

An Indianapolis woman has been accused of participating in a robbery.

Benevia Armstrong, 18, was charged with first-degree robbery and assault causing bodily injury.

On June 28, 2013, Armstrong along with four other suspects called and ordered a Pizza Hut pizza to be delivered to the 1000 block of Jensen Street, the police release said. The driver arrived, and the four suspects approached the driver’s side of the car, hitting it and threatening the driver.

Armstrong reportedly entered the passenger side of the car and attempted to take items. The four suspects split the money and food, the release said.
