Authorities have booked two people in connection with an armed robbery Tuesday night at a cell phone store in St. Joseph.

Sgt. Kevin Cummings said police got a call around 7:40 p.m. in reference to an incident at Metro PCS located at 3202 S. Belt. A man and a woman allegedly entered the store and both displayed guns and demand money. Cummings said the employees complied. He said, afterwards another employee got a description of the suspects and their vehicle and actually followed the pair for a short while.

The employee returned to the store and gave officers a description. Police then broadcasted the information and the vehicle was located shortly after 8 p.m. in the area of Frederick Ave. and Leonard Rd. by a trooper with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Both suspects are being held for investigation of armed robbery. Police said a case is being submitted to the prosecutor’s office for consideration of charges.
