Officers received a report of a robbery Thursday night at about 7 p.m. in the 900 block of Harden Pl. and a description of the suspects was broadcast to officers. They found the two suspects walking in the 1100 block of Hanover St., said Detective Jeremy Silbert, a police spokesman.
Police arrested Sharticia Bryant, 21, and Keaira Vanzandt, 19, and have charged them in the Thursday robbery. But Silbert said police have connected the pair to at least three other similar robberies since Dec. 21:
Bryant was charged in March with an armed carjacking, armed robbery, and related charges, and was being held without bond. Court records show prosecutors dropped all of the charges in mid-November, and a spokesman for State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein did not immediately respond to questions about why the case was dropped.
