Subway robbers arrested

BRANDON – Deputies have arrested three suspects who allegedly fired two shots and robbed a Subway sandwich shop Sunday night.

No one was injured in the shooting, Hillsborough Sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Around 9:18 p.m., two black males with what witnesses described as white t-shirts around their faces entered the Subway, at 3208 Lithia Pinecrest Road. They fired two shots, demanded money and fled in a white vehicle, Carter said.

Deputies chased the vehicle to the area of Mulrennan Road and Imperial Eagle Drive, Carter said, where all three suspects fled from the vehicle on foot. Deputies arrested the suspects. They recovered the money from the armed robbery, a handgun and a rifle.

The suspects’ names and the charges against them have not been released.
