Rowlett police arrested a pair of armed robbery suspects just minutes after the alleged crime Friday night.

This happened just before 6:30 p.m., when officers were called about an armed robbery just outside an apartment complex in the 3600 block of Melcer Drive.

The victim said two men in a black Chevy pickup truck robbed him at gunpoint, before firing a couple shots as they drove off.
