PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say they’ve arrested a second suspect in the armed robbery of a medical marijuana dispensary’s corporate office in Phoenix.

Phoenix police say 44-year-old Robert Veto Gastelum is being held on suspicion of burglary, aggravated assault, kidnapping, armed robbery and drug-related charges.

One female suspect was arrested earlier and police say a second woman suspected in the robbery remains on the loose.

Witnesses say the three suspects entered the business office on May 13 and immediately began pointing guns at two employees.

One of the workers was quickly bound and held at gunpoint on the floor.

The suspects then forced the second employee to unlock the safe before he was also bound and held at gunpoint on the floor.

They stole an undisclosed sum of money and property before fleeing.
