Rowlett police arrest armed robbery suspects found with weapons, drugs

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.

Both suspects, whose names have not yet been released, were arrested on multiple charges after police said they found weapons and several narcotics at the scene.
