Officers arrested three men Wednesday morning wanted in the robbery of two elderly residents last Monday, according to the Pine Bluff Police Department.
Police received a tip and found Justin Cartwright, 24, Corderro Foster, 26, and Clifton Chambers, 27, at the Plaza Hotel at 2 Convention Center Drive in Pine Bluff about 8:30 a.m., according to department spokesman Richard Wegner.
The three men stole an undisclosed amount of cash from Will Wright, 81, and a purse from his sister Mary Franklin, 84, at Franklin's resident at 1300 E. 34th Ave. after the siblings returned from Brookshire's, according to a Pine Bluff police report.
Officers transported the suspects to the Jefferson County jail where Cartwright and Foster later escaped but were recaptured about 1:28 p.m., Jefferson County sheriff's office spokesman Maj. Lafayette Woods Jr. said.
