Within minutes of the reported crime, officers were able to gather a comprehensive description of the perpetrator. They were able to immediately find and apprehend the suspect, 37-year-old Anthony Santiago Rivera, just two streets from the alleged crime scene. Rivera was allegedly in possession of a gun with obliterated serial numbers, exacerbating an already volatile situation.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the heist or subsequent arrest.
