STORE ROBBED, STAFF THREATENED

A 28-year-old man was held in custody on Monday after he allegedly robbed a Brandon store and threatened to shoot its employees.

Brandon police were called to the store on the 900 block of 18th Street North around 1 p.m. for a report of a man who had stolen items and threatened staff, police said in a news release on Tuesday.

The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.

Officers reviewed video surveillance and were able to identify a suspect who was found at another business around 2:30 p.m.

The man was arrested and charged with robbery.

SUSPECTS SEEN BREAKING INTO VACANT HOME

Two individuals were arrested on Monday morning after Brandon police say they observed the suspects breaking into a vacant home.

Officers responded to the report of a man and woman who were using tools to get inside a home on the 400 block of Percy Street around 9:45 a.m., police said in a news release on Tuesday.

When police arrived on scene, they witnessed the suspects stealing items from the home, the release said.

Police arrested a 43-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, who both face charges of break and enter and possession of break-in instruments.

The individuals were later released on an undertaking and are scheduled to appear in court on a future date.
