BREAKING NEWS: Tampa Police Arrest Suspects in 2-Robberies

TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa Police officers are currently working an active scene after two convenience stores were held up Monday afternoon by two subjects.

Two subjects robbed the Super 7 store at 4808 E. Broadway around 4:45 p.m. and fled. Shortly after, Tampa Police spotted the subject’s vehicle outside the Liberty Gas Station on E. Lake Ave where a second robbery had just occurred.
