BOSSIER CITY, LA (KSLA) -

Bossier City Police arrested three men early Tuesday morning for their alleged involvement in an armed robbery.

Witnesses told police a man armed with a gun walked in to the Circle K in the 1200 block of Barksdale Blvd. just before 1 a.m. and demanded money. The thief got an unknown amount of money and ran to a getaway car with two other people inside parked behind the store.

Police learned the car was a blue Honda Accord. A short time after the robbery, an officer pulled over a car with three people inside that resembled the vehicle from the robbery.

Police say 19-year-old Samuel Vinson, 23-year-old Jertavious Watkins and 20-year-old Tremaine Boatwin now face armed robbery charges. Their bond has not been set.
