Dallas Police have arrested two teenagers they say may be responsible for at least ten robberies. They arrested the two after receiving a call about a person being robbed at gunpoint Monday afternoon.
Police say two men robbed the victim in the parking lot of an apartment complex near 635 and Montfort. Officers found the car about five miles away, near 75 and Loop 12. They say the car sped off, leading to a chase.
Police say the car crashed about two miles away at Abrams and Royal. They say the two inside started running.
At a gas station near the corner, police say "two good Samaritans stopped the passenger." Officers arrived and arrested Abraham Leone, 17.
Police say the driver ran into a nearby apartment complex. They launched their helicopter and arrested Giovanni Martinez-Castro, 17, there.
During the investigation, Dallas Police say they connected the two to at least ten other robberies. They say people in a similar make and model car demanded money and property at gunpoint "across the North Dallas area" in June and July.
Both have been charged with aggravated robbery and evading arrest. Martinez-Castro has also been charged with failure to leave identification at the scene of a crash.
