BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - Two men have been arrested in connection with a robbery of a market in Burlington, Vermont.
Police say the men wore masks when they entered the Willard Street Market about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and demanded money. No weapons were displayed, but police said they had objects hidden beneath their jackets. Police said they took cash and cigarettes and fled.
Police later arrested 24-year-old James Porter and 28-year-old William Nelson, both of Burlington, without incident on charges of assault and robbery. Nelson also faces a charge of providing false information to a police officer, and Porter faces a violations charge in connection to another case.
