Police have arrested a man and woman for the armed robbery of a UCF-area Hess gas station located on University Boulevard near Rouse Road, according to News 13.
The suspect, Joshua Bennett, 29, entered the Hess gas station on Saturday wielding a fireman and demanded cash from the store attendant, law enforcement told News 13. His accomplice, Rachel Councell, was driving the getaway car as Bennett fled the store with $271, deputies told News 13.
Law Enforcement told News 13 that the incident happened with multiple witnesses in the store, who helped deputies provide accurate descriptions to deputies of the alleged robbers and their vehicle. Deputies caught the duo a couple hours later, roughly 500 yards away from the Hess at Crestwood Suites.
Nobody was injured in the robbery.
