Cole County prosecutors filed charges of conspiracy to commit robbery against: Mark Cavin III, 18; Kendra Sanchez, 17; Marqukis Hayes, 17; and Isiah Alexander, 17. The charge is a Class B felony that could result in prison sentences of five to 15 years.
Jefferson City police said the four had planned to rob the victim at a residence in the 1700 block of West McCarty Street.
The statements also indicate at least one other person was involved, but he was not named and has not been charged.
The statements said Cavin brought a plastic gun and a black ski mask to the robbery, and that he was to be a lookout while the others robbed the victim.
Sanchez told police she was to go to the front door and get the victim to open it, and then she was to open the back door so the boys could go into the house and rob the victim.
Alexander said he was to "knock out" the victim, if needed.
Police said Hayes admitted to helping plan the robbery and carrying a gun to scare the victim, and planned on using it once they had gotten inside the house.
None of the police reports reveal how officers identified the suspects, or how they found and arrested the four teens.

Also indicted by the grand jury was a Jefferson City man who fled from police officers in December 2012, then fought with them while being taken into custody.
Maurice Rollins, 26, is facing charges of possession of heroin with intent to distribute, assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
According to police reports, Jefferson City Community Action Team officers attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle in the area of West Main and Berry streets.
Upon stopping the vehicle, the passenger, Rollins , quickly exited and approached officers.
When questioned, Rollins initially began to walk away, then ran from officers despite orders to stop.
A foot chase ensued, and officers caught Rollins in an alley between Brooks and Berry streets.
Rollins then struck and punched officers, but was eventually taken into custody.
A search of Rollins revealed he was carrying nearly a half of a gram of heroin that had been packaged for sale.
