BOISE -- Two suspects are in custody after a burglary and a robbery Sunday night, one of which involved a knife.
A burglar alarm went off at a store on North Orchard Street just before 9 p.m. Police say the suspects broke a window at the business, and stole five telescopes, which are valued at more than $1,000.
About an hour later, an employee at the Jacksons Food Store on 31st Street and State Street called police to report an armed robbery. The clerk told police that a man entered the store, held a knife near his throat, and demanded money. The victim was able to give a description of the suspect, as well as the license plate number.
A Boise Police officer spotted the suspect driving near 28th Street and Madison Avenue, not far from where the armed robbery took place.
The knife was found in the vehicle. Officers found other evidence inside the car that indicated they were involved in a robbery earlier in the night. While searching the suspect's home, police also found the stolen telescopes.
Alik Takhsilov, 22, and Regan Mullins, 31, both of Boise, were arrested in connection with the burglaries.
