Two Teenagers Arrested In Omaha Robbery Spree

Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with a string of armed robberies in Omaha Sunday night.

Police say the 17 and 16-year-old were involved in four robberies in less than an hour. Police say their investigation led officers to a home near 45th and Wirt streets on Monday where they found a stolen vehicle parked on the street that matched the description of the suspect's vehicle.

Officers then made contact with a 17-year-old suspect in a nearby house and took him into custody without incident. He was booked into the Douglas County Youth Center on five counts of robbery, one county of receiving a stolen vehicle, and felony possession of a firearm.

Police also arrested a 16-year-old for his suspected involvement in the crimes. He was booked into the youth center for four counts of robbery and four counts of using a weapon to commit a felony.
