Phoenix police say between the hours of 9 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. Tuesday, several suspects committed strong-armed robberies at Circle K stores in Phoenix and Glendale.

Six people in the vehicle were arrested, including four juveniles. Police booked 18-year-old Jason Hobbs and 20-year-old Chelsea Crespo into jail, each for five counts of aggravated robbery.
Two 17-year-old boys, a 14-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl were referred to the Maricopa County Juvenile Correctional Center.
