They then took off in a car.
Around 20 minutes later, two men robbed the Mac’s store in the 2300 block of 33rd Street West.

No injuries were reported in either robbery.
Patrol officers spotted the car a short time later and made a traffic stop.
Two men were arrested and police said masks, weapons and money were found in the vehicle.
Charges are pending against the two men.
