INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two suspects accused of robbing a Kroger pharmacy on Saturday have been arrested by IMPD detectives.
Officers were called to a robbery in progress at a Kroger store in the 5800 block of East 71st Street around 3:15 p.m. Witnesses were able to provide police with a detailed suspect description.
