Four Arrested For Two Armed Robberies: CMPD

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Charlotte police say they have arrested four suspects behind two armed robberies in as many days after spotting their vehicle at a car wash. One of the suspects is a 15-year-old juvenile.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police received a 911 call Tuesday that a victim had been robbed at gunpoint near 4600 Perth Court. The victim described the four suspects as hispanic, dressed in all black and wearing black masks, driving a black hatchback with a red and white plate hanging, CMPD said.

A CMPD patrol officer noticed the described vehicle at a car wash in the 6300 block of North Tryon Street, and attempted to pull it over. The car sped off, prompting a brief “vehicle pursuit,” before the car crashed and all four occupants arrested, CMPD said.
