A teenage brother-and-sister team is under arrest for helping to rob and beat a youth on the Lower East Side, police said yesterday. Jasmine Porras, 19, Richard Porras, 18, and three accomplices surrounded the victim on Grand Street and Abraham Place at about 6 p.m. Jan. 21, cops said. After they demanded that the victim empty his bag, Richard Porras allegedly took the youth’s wallet, two cellphones and headphones. The hoodlums escorted the victim to a nearby schoolyard, where they beat him, authorities said. The siblings were busted. Their accomplices got away.
