The Fayetteville Police Department arrested two suspects connected to a September 17, 2010 Armed Robbery of a man and his wife in the parking lot of the Fayetteville Wal-Mart.

The incident occurred in the early morning hours when the victims were approached, while walking to their vehicle, by a suspect pointing a pistol at the torso of the male victim. The suspect demanded the victim’s wallet and the victim’s wife’s purse. The victim refused and two shots were fired as the victims ran from the area.
