Two men were arrested on Friday the 13th in connection with an armed robbery in Sierra Vista.

Police were called to the area of Sheila Lane and Sulger Street where a man said a knife was pulled on him by two robbers, according to a Sierra Vista Police Department briefing.

The passenger in the vehicle reportedly got out and demanded money, police said. The victim complied, giving the man all of the money in his wallet.

The passenger then got back into the vehicle and the pair drove away.

The victim was able to give police a description of the robbers and the vehicle they left in, police said.

Officers scoured the area and found a vehicle and individuals matching the description given by the victim in a parking lot, police said.

Joseph Richter, 22, and Alfonso Moreno, 24, were both arrested on armed robbery charges.

Moreno is also facing a charge of aggravated assault on a police officer but details surrounding that incident were not available.

Both were booked into the jail.
