NOPD Arrests Two Suspects for Armed Robbery on Francis Drive

 NOPD Seventh District officers arrested Kendrick Roberts (DOB:1-7-2000) and Miles Price (DOB: 8-19-1998) Saturday night after they robbed a victim at gunpoint.

The incident happened on June 26, 2017. The victim was exiting her vehicle after she had just parked it in her driveway in the 4800 block of Francis Drive. She was then approached by two armed suspects who demanded her property. A struggle then started between one of the suspects and the victim. The suspects eventually fled the area running west on Dwyer Road.

Through the course of the investigation, officers Christopher McGaw and David Santanello received a call regarding the suspects in the area. Both officers located Roberts and Price as described by the victim, and were able to obtain a positive identification on both suspects.

The suspects were arrested and booked into Central Lockup.
