The second suspect in a North Platte armed robbery is in police custody.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, North Platte Police responded to the report of an armed robbery in the 800 block of North Jackson at around 3:30 a.m. on November 13.

Two male victims told officers that sometime between 1:00 a.m. and 1:30 a.m., two male subjects forced their way into their residence and robbed them at gunpoint.

The victims said one subject was wearing a ski mask and was armed with a collapsible baton, the other, who was not wearing a mask, brandished a black semi-automatic hand gun.
