Phoenix police detectives investigating multiple related armed robberies have arrested two men in connection with the crimes.

The robberies occurred on April 29.

At about 8:30 p.m., two men entered a business in the area of 20th Avenue and Thunderbird Road and committed “a takedown-style armed robbery,” police stated in a release. One suspect was armed and the other collected property as part of the robbery.  The suspects left the area.

An hour later, the suspects entered a business in the area of Grovers Avenue and Cave Creek Road and committed another takedown-style armed robbery. One suspect was armed with a handgun and the other collected property before leaving.

On May 6, both suspects were arrested. 

“Through interviews, both admitted to their involvement in the two armed robberies and both suspects have been booked on multiple charges related to the two investigations,” the release stated. “These investigations remain very much active and follow-up is being conducted at this time.”
