FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Robbers arrested

Shreveport Police arrested two men on charges of armed robbery for an incident at the Circle K in the 300 block of Southfield early this morning.

Tobias Lattier, 21, of Bossier City and Billy Iverson, 21, of Shreveport were booked into the Shreveport City Jail after the convenience store was robbed about 1 a.m.

Detectives believe Lattier entered the store wearing a ski mask and was armed with a handgun. He then robbed the clerk of money and cigarettes and fled the scene on foot. A short while later, a patrol officer stopped a blue car with the suspects inside.

They recovered the mask and the gun inside the vehicle, which also contained a female who was questioned but not charged.

It is alleged that Iverson hid the money and cigarettes in some bushes, but officers recovered the items.
