An 18-year-old has been charged in an armed robbery at a Kapolei mall parking lot, the latest in a string of violent incidents at Oahu shopping centers.

• Prosecutors charged Allie Sanders, 18, with second-degree robbery.
• He is accused of pulling a gun on a 22-year-old man in the parking lot Monday night.
• The victim was also pushed and kicked during the attack.
• Separately, construction is set to start in a few weeks in Whitmore Village.

Outlook: The case now moves through the courts, and shoppers can expect more attention on mall parking lot security.
