Three suspects in an armed robbery were arrested shortly after the crime Wednesday when police say they fled to one of their homes, where officers were conducting a parole check.
Witnesses told police two people held up the Game Exchange on South University Avenue around 6:30 p.m. Thursday. One pointed a rifle at an employee, according to a police report, and demanded he open the cash drawer. The other man took money from the drawer, then demanded a game console from the back wall.
An employee refused, according to the report, and the robbers ran away. One witness told police the robbers drove away in a gray SUV.
Around the same time, officers were conducting a parole visit to the home of 20-year-old Tecorian Mitchell in the 6400 block of Tulip Road, according to the report. A blue Acura MDX pulled up and officers found inside a rifle magazine and loose change.
Mitchell and two 19-year-olds, Abriyahn Tell and Gaveyon Hill, were also in the vehicle. They were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and theft of property. Hill was also charged with a second count of aggravated robbery in connection to a separate incident.
All are being held in the Pulaski County jail.
