COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A Thursday morning robbery at a Safeway grocery store in Colorado Springs led to four arrests, two of which were unrelated.

Colorado Springs Police officers said two men left the store on Wahsatch Avenue around 10:37 a.m. with a cart full of unpaid groceries. One of them pulled a gun on an employee when the employee confronted him, and the suspects took off.

Officers tracked the car to a home on Conejos Street and found five people inside. Two of them matched witness descriptions of the two men accused of robbing the Safeway - 19-year-old Izaiah Suazo and a 13-year-old boy.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested on an escape warrant, and a 17-year-old girl was detained as a runaway from a Denver youth home.
