Warren police probe robbery connections after arrests
WARREN — Police say they will investigate whether there are any connections between two men charged with a Sunday afternoon armed robbery at the Subway restaurant on Parkman Road and several other recent robberies.
Police charged Omar S. Williams, 19, of Columbus and Derrick Bennett, 20, of Third Street Southwest in Warren, with aggravated robbery.
When officers arrived at the restaurant, 1604 Parkman Road, another officer, Patrolman Zachary Jones, reported seeing three males matching the description given by Subway workers at Bingham Avenue and Riverview Drive.
Officers found a basement window busted out at 1198 Bingham and went inside, finding Williams in a closet and arrested him.
A Warren police report doesn’t say how Bennett was arrested, but he was holding the gun, police said. The third suspect was not arrested.
