The incident was reported about midnight Wednesday morning near the intersection of Fidelis Way and Commonwealth Avenue, according to police. As the deliveryman was reaching for the pizza in his car, one of the three teenage boys pointed a gun at his head and demanded his things.

After the deliveryman was punched, police said, the teenagers ran off, and officers searched the area for them — when one of the teenagers was spotted, he was followed to an apartment while the other two were located. A stolen phone was allegedly found in the pocket of one of the teens.

The ammunition was found inside an apartment where an officer had spoken to the mother of a suspect, according to police. Andrea Keating Doucette was charged with illegally possessing ammunition, stealing from a building and destroying property. She's due in Brighton District Court; it wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney.

The two 17-year-old and two 15-year-olds also arrested were not identified. They will face a charge of delinquent armed robbery in Boston Juvenile court.
