Starbucks Robbery Suspects Could Have Connection To Many More

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - Police say the two Starbucks robbery suspects arrested Saturday may be linked to a dozen other robberies in the metro area.

Thanks to a tip from a witness the suspects were arrested at a hotel in Lakewood less than 12 hours after they robbed two Starbucks coffee shops in Arvada.

The suspects first held up a Starbucks in the 6600 block of Wadsworth Boulevard Friday night. They then hit another Starbucks in the 8000 block of Wadsworth.
