DETROIT, Mich. — Photographs have led to the arrest of two police officers in Detroit.
The officers are accused of robbing two people at a gas station last week, and pistol-whipping one of the victims.
One suspect is a sergeant and 20-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department, the other is a sergeant in the Saint Clair Shores Police Department.
Police say the two wore their badges around their necks and drew their department-issued pistols when they robbed two men at a gas station on July 21.
“Several unidentified police officers were working this particular robbery case,” said Detroit Police Chief James Craig, “recognized one of the suspects in the photographs as being a member of the Detroit Police Department. In fact they were police officers, just not on duty working at the time.”
Chief Craig says the two suspects will be charged with robbery and assault.
