PHILADELPHIA (CBS) —Upper Darby Police on Monday announced a break in a series of violent armed robberies that took place in the township over the last two weeks. 
 
 Police have charged 16-year-old Kemonie McKee of Philadelphia as an adult. 
 
 Police say McKee and 17-year-old Syniah Martinez robbed two cab drivers within hours of each other in a residential neighborhood near 69th Street. 
 
 “How do you get into the head of a 16-year-old?” Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. “I mean she’s a baby committing adult crimes.” 
 
 The crime spree began June 19.

 In each crime, the cab drivers were held at gunpoint. 
 
 Days later, an 86-year-old woman and a 52-year-old woman, who were both visiting from Ecuador, reportedly lost almost $1,000 in a robbery on Kent Road. 
 
 When the 86-year-old tried to resist, she got a pistol forced into her chest. 
 
 Police say McKee and Martinez are responsible. 
 
 “They were terrorizing people – I mean how do you rob an 86 year old woman!” Chitwood said. “Give me a break.” 
 
 In one of the cases, the teens allegedly had assistance from a getaway driver. 
 
 It was somewhat of a lucky break for officers as they were led down a whole other path. The car was stolen in a carjacking in Philadelphia during the robbery of a pizza driver, several days prior. ||||| Police are searching for two armed teen girls who robbed cab drivers and tourists in Upper Darby. NBC10's Denise Nakano speaks to two of the victims as the investigation continues. 
 
 Police arrested two teen girls accused of robbing two cab drivers, a mother and daughter visiting their family from Ecuador, and a Domino's Pizza. 
 
 Kemonie McKee, 16, of Philadelphia and Synia Martinez, 15, were both arrested and charged with robbery, assault, conspiracy and other related offenses. 
 
 
 
 Police say the girls first targeted a cab driver on June 19 shortly before 9:30 p.m. The teens called the cab driver to the 100 block of Glendale Road in Upper Darby, according to investigators. When he arrived, one of the girls began talking to him to distract him while the second girl pulled out a gun and aimed it at his head, police said. They then allegedly stole the cab driver's phone and $100. 
 
 About two hours later the girls called another cab driver to the 200 block of Copley Road in Upper Darby and used the same method to rob him once he arrived, investigators said. The teens allegedly stole $80 in cash during the second incident. The cab drivers were not hurt in either incident. 
 
 "Cab driver arrives, starts a conversation, next thing you know he's got a gun to his head," Chitwood said. 
 
 On June 21, the girls robbed a Domino's Pizza on the 6400 block of Race Street in Southwest Philadelphia, police said. A surveillance photo of one of the suspects during that robbery was obtained by NBC10.

 On June 23, the two girls allegedly robbed a mother and daughter from Ecuador who were visiting their family in Upper Darby. Martha Chacon, 52, and her mother Maria Cardenas, 86, said they were both leaving their family members' home on Kent Road at 9:40 a.m. when they were approached by the two girls. 
 
 "She came up close to me, got really close and put the gun right here," Chacon said. 
 
 The girls allegedly shoved Chacon in the chest and took her purse which contained $200. They then struggled with Cardenas before hitting her in the arm with a gun and taking her purse which contained $700 and other items, according to police. 
 
 "I didn't want to let go," Cardenas said. "I grabbed my little purse with two hands. I had money, my watch, some other little things. They even took my denture that was inside." 
 
 After robbing the mother and daughter, the teen girls left the scene in a dark gray Hyundai Sonata which was captured on surveillance video, police said. Police say a third suspect was driving the getaway vehicle.

 UPPER DARBY >> Serial robbers preying on cabbies and women in late June have been identified as two teenage girls who will be charged as adults, police said. 
 
 Kemonie McKee, 16, of the 300 block of North 61st Street, Philadelphia, surrendered on Sunday and jailed in lieu of posting $500,000 cash bail after arraignment on Monday. 
 
 Her alleged accomplice, identified as Syniah Martinez, 17, of the 5100 block of Spruce Street, Philadelphia, remains at large. 
 
 “They are real scumbags,” township Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. “When you hold a gun to someone’s head, that’s being a violent predator. They are both facing charges as adults because of the sheer terror of these two girls for terrorizing people with a gun. These were serial holdups, a two-person crime wave. They just wanted money.”

 Police continue to search for an unidentified man for his involvement as the driver of the getaway car in one of the robberies. 
 
 According to Chitwood, the string of robberies in Upper Darby began when two taxi drivers were dispatched to separate locations on June 19. 
 
 A 35-year-old cab driver, employed with Get A Cab, was dispatched to the 100 block of Glendale Road to pick up a fare at 9:30 p.m. June 19. 
 
 “One of the women approached and then a second woman came up to the driver’s side with a firearm,” Chitwood said. “She held the gun to the driver’s head and demanded money. He handed over about $100 and the two robbers ran away. Less than two hours later at 11:30 p.m. it was the same thing. The driver, 43, employed by County Cab, was dispatched to Copley Road and one of the women opened the door and put the gun to his head. He handed over $90.” 
 
 Police were searching for the bandits in the cab driver holdups when the duo allegedly attacked and robbed two women, ages 52 and 86, visiting from Ecuador on June 23 on Kent Road. 
 
 “An 86-year-old woman was hit with a gun on the arm when she refused to turn over her handbag,” Chitwood said. “It’s the same women committing these holdups. It’s the same M.O. and the same physical description except in the third one involving the two female victims they were seen getting into the back seat of a car.” 
 
 The vehicle was first identified as a Chevy Impala but later identified as a Hyundai Sonata, and was allegedly stolen in Philadelphia in a carjacking. A total of $900 and two cell phones were stolen in the robbery-purse snatches. 
 
 Nothing has been recovered. 
 
 “This is an ongoing investigation that exploded,” Chitwood said. “Both girls were identified by the cab drivers. Detectives Phil Lydon and Justin Clark with Philadelphia police officers did a great job. These detectives did not stop. They worked around the clock in Upper Darby and Philadelphia. They got locations and they got names of potential suspects. Philly police really helped us out. It was a great collaborative effort. We beat the bush pretty good to find the female robbers. 
 
 “We believe they are also involved in three pizza delivery jobs in Philadelphia.” 
 
 According to Chitwood, McKee gave a statement and admitted using a black BB gun in the robberies. 
 
 An innocent victim in the crime wave is the 11-year-old sister of Martinez, who was in the alleged stolen car with the girls after one heist. 
 
 She suffered a broken arm when the car they were driving crashed in Philadelphia, Chitwood said. 
 
 McKee was arraigned on two counts of robbery, theft and related offenses for the cabbie incidents and two counts of robbery, theft and assault for the attack on the two women on Kent Road. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

– "You could write a book" about Kemonie McKee and Syniah Martinez, a Philly-area police official tells the Philadelphia Inquirer, but the story about the two teen girls wouldn't exactly be a fairy tale. Instead, McKee, 16, and Martinez, 17, pulled off "some very heinous, nasty crimes," Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says, and they've now been charged as adults for the armed robberies of two taxi drivers, which took place just hours apart June 19 in Upper Darby, CBS Philly reports. In the cab crimes, which are said to have taken place at gunpoint (though Chitwood notes the teens say it was just a BB gun), police say the girls made off with a grand total of $100 from one taxi, $80 from the second. The girls are also accused of robbing two women from Ecuador, identified by NBC Philadelphia as a mother and daughter, at gunpoint on June 23 in Upper Darby. The teens have been charged with aggravated assault and related offenses in all three cases. In the Ecuador case, $900 and a cellphone were taken from the 86-year-old and 52-year-old tourists, who were also assaulted. The girls are also suspected of the carjacking robberies of two Philly pizza delivery drivers. Martinez's 11-year-old sister, meanwhile, suffered a broken arm when one of the getaway cars that she was riding in crashed, Chitwood tells the Delaware County Daily Times. While cops seek out a male adult they think was involved in planning the crimes and possibly serving as the getaway driver, they note a somewhat happy ending: Two anonymous locals came forward with $1,000 for each of the Ecuadorian women. "They felt bad ... people would come here from another country and be victims of a robbery," Chitwood tells CBS. (A teen pimped out other teens.)
