Both suspects used guns to rob employees at a gaming business, Austin police say.

AUSTIN, Texas — Austin police have arrested two people suspected of an armed robbery on South Congress Avenue.

Police said as officers were searching a residential area near South Congress on Thursday, someone flagged them down to tell them they were robbed.

One suspect held his weapon against a victim's head, forcing them to open a game room machine for the cash inside. A second suspect pistol-whipped and robbed another employee.

A bystander reported the suspect's car and license plate number to police.

Zacquez Victor and Jaylen Alfaro were arrested and are now charged with aggravated robbery.
