Lemonade Stand Theft

A lemonade stand theft in Pontiac has soured the enthusiasm of four children and left one man thirsting for justice.

Keith Aldrich said he will ask prosecutors to consider child endangerment charges against three teenage boys who robbed a stand hosted near his home by his 9-year-old twin girls, 9-year-old stepdaughter and 6-year-old granddaughter.

Aldrich tells The Oakland Press the children were ``having the time of their life'' Saturday until the teens walked up and stole a cash box containing $40.

Two teens were turned into police. A third teen who had the cash is sought.

Aldrich said the children refused to come outside after the incident.

The family plans another lemonade sale July 31 at the same location.
