SOLON, Ohio (WOIO) – Solon police arrested two people Saturday after $23,000 worth of items were stolen from a T-Mobile store in an armed robbery.
According to police, the distraction-style robbery involved a 32-year-old man, 27-year-old woman and a 4-year-old boy.
The adults have been arrested, and the child is now in the care of a family member.
Officers say the robbery happened around 11:40 a.m. at the T-Mobile on SOM Center Road.
The worker told police he was helping a woman and her child when he stepped away to the back room.
That’s when police say an armed suspect rushed into the store and pointed the gun at the worker.
He reportedly demanded the worker help him load cell phones and tablets into a garbage bag.
The worker then found himself alone in the store.
Police launched a search and soon found a parked car with cell phone boxes inside.
Nearby, officers tracked down the alleged robber. He was hiding with the mother and son, according to police.
Anthony Gore, of Bedford, is charged with aggravated robbery.
Erica Mosley, of Cleveland, is charged with complicity to aggravated robbery and child endangering.
Officers say they recovered $4,000 and took the suspects to jail.
