Money, jewelry and a sports utility vehicle were stolen, according to police. The vehicle was later recovered in the nearby area of Firgrove Drive and Monticello Street.

The two individuals who were assaulted sustained what police called “non-life-threatening” physical injuries.

On April 29, shortly before 10 a.m., officers located and arrested a 42-year-old woman in the 2200 block of Highland Avenue. She is facing two counts of robbery with violence. She was the second suspect charged in relation to the incident.

A 27-year-old man turned himself in to police on Thursday.
