Three arrested for armed robbery

PORTALES — The Portales Police Department arrested three juveniles Monday evening for an armed robbery early that day, according to a post on the PPD Facebook page.

According to a pair of posts seeking community help and announcing the arrests, three males entered an Allsup’s convenience store at 18th Street and Ave. I with at least one carrying a firearm.

The males threatened the clerks, the post said, and left with undisclosed merchandise and money.

A message left with the PPD on Monday was not returned.
