2 Arrested In Roxborough Boost Mobile Robbery, Shooting: Report

ROXBOROUGH, PHILADELPHIA — Two men have reportedly been arrested in connection with a shooting and robbery at a Roxborough store.

According to Action News, two men were arrested Sunday and they are believed to be responsible for the Feb. 23 shooting and robbery at the Boost Mobile store, 6125 Ridge Ave.

In the robbery, one of the men pointed a gun at a store employee and pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't fire, police said.

The man then pulled the trigger again and the gun fired, striking the employee in the left leg, police said.

The men then rifled through the store's merchandise while demanding cellphones and air pods.

While they were searching the store, they periodically turned towards the victim and struck him with firearms, police said.

In total, the men took 10 iPhone 8 phones, the victim's iPhone 12, and $500 in cash from the cash register before leaving out the store's rear door.

Action News reports the two men, whose names have not been released, are suspected of armed robberies in Lower Merion Township and that one of the guns used in the Roxborough incident was stolen during the robbery of another Boost Mobile store in Bala Cynwyd in early February.
