Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has arrested a pair of suspects in a string of business robberies.
On
January 13, 2010, Angelo Wingo, 18, and Devon Glover, 21, were both
arrested after a patrol unit stopped a blue BMW for a traffic
investigation in the 3900 block of Coco Avenue in South Los Angeles.
They were both taken to LAPD’s Southwest Division Jail on suspicion of robbery and are being held in lieu of $200,000 bail.
Since December 2009, the suspects have hit up to six stores throughout the Los Angeles
area. According to detectives, the suspects would enter the store and
walk around posing as customers. A day later, the suspects would return
and commit a 
takeover robbery during which they ordered the employees
to a back room, tied them up and demanded access to the safe. The
suspects then left with an undisclosed amount of money and drove off.
During the investigation, Wilshire Division robbery detectives learned
the suspects’ vehicle description and shared the information with
neighboring police stations, which lead to the arrest of the robbers.
Detectives believe the suspects are part of a large robbery ring and
are asking for the public’s help in recognizing Wingo and Glover to
link them to additional reported robberies.
Anyone with information about this crime is urged to call Wilshire
robbery detectives at 213-473-0514 or 213-922-8205. During
non-business hours or on weekends calls should be directed to
