MOORHEAD — Five people were arrested after an armed robbery at an apartment building here late Sunday, Sept. 29.
Police were sent to 911 23rd Ave. S. about 11:52 p.m. Sunday after a caller reported that a group of people forced their way into an apartment unit. The caller also reported that a person in the group appeared to have a handgun, according to authorities.
The first officers to arrive saw the group get into a car and drive away. Moorhead police, Clay County sheriff's deputies and Minnesota state troopers stopped the car in the 2300 block of Eighth Street South. The people in the car were arrested, and officers found a handgun in the car, police said.
