On Sunday afternoon, officers responded to an alleged robbery at Rainbow Fashion on the 7600 block of West Broadway Avenue. Store employees told police two suspects had entered the store about 30 minutes prior to police arriving, and forced them into a back room at gun point, locking them inside. The suspects took cash and other items before fleeing.
