DETROIT, Mich. (WJBK) - Three teens have been charged in a brutal attack on a 90-year-old woman. Police say they forced their way into the woman's home on Aug. 13 and raped her.

On Saturday, Maurice Randall, 17, and Anthony Hardy, 18, both of Detroit, were arraigned along with a 15-year-old Detroit boy whose name is not being released because he's a juvenile.

"Detroit has a bad mark right now in America but us coming together to catch these 3 guys it shows we can do a lot more in our community."think about it my people join in the fight to help fight crime
