A short time later, cops were able to arrest 19-year-old Hempstead resident Naire Johnson and 48-year-old Roosevelt resident Kamoire Edwards, according to officials.
The third suspect, a woman last seen wearing a black coat, pink hat, gray pants and a mask, is still at large.
Both Johnson and Edwards were charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree burglary and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property. The pair was arraigned on Saturday and released on their own recognizance to return to court on Oct. 28.
