According to reports, shortly after midnight someone was robbed at gunpoint at the 7-11 in South Yarmouth. A cell phone was reported taken by suspects, one of whom reportedly showed a gun.

Yarmouth, Barnstable and State Police responded including at least one K-9 dog to track suspects. Two people were arrested. Justin J. Herring (left) and Richard Orland Howerton (right) both of Mashpee were both charged with armed robbery.
