Bethlehem police arrested two young men following investigations into an armed robbery at the Center Street Shell Station Sept. 12.
Police said two men wearing bandannas and displaying pistols entered the business around 7:20 p.m. and fled on foot once they had taken an undisclosed amount of cash.
Angelo Melendez, 18, of Sixth Avenue, and a 15-year-old were arrested the following day, charged with robbery, theft, conspiracy, and possession of an instrument of crime.
Melendez’s bail was set at $60,000, while the juvenile is charged as an adult with a $50,000 bail.
Both were remanded to Northampton County Prison.
Police ask that anyone with information on these two suspects, the Ike’s Shell Station robbery, or the Bethlehem Star Dry Cleaner Shop robbery Sept. 7, contact Det. Sgt. Tim Cooper at Bethlehem Police Detectives at 610-865-7187.
