(KLAS) A teenager accused of planning a terror attack in Las Vegas was allegedly building bombs in his room and may have been preparing to target a school, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.
Joshua Robles was 16 when Las Vegas Metro police arrested him in late November. Because of his age at the time, the courts and police kept Robles’ name and details about his arrest confidential. Earlier this month, a judge certified Robles as an adult before a Clark County grand jury indicted him on terror-related charges, including providing material support for acts of terrorism or terrorists and attempting to commit or cause an act of terrorism.
In late November, a person submitted a tip about Robles, saying he was allegedly posting online about supporting the Islamic State, documents said.
