Someone inside contacted police by setting off a robbery alarm.
The robbers fled in a gray sport utility vehicle, which officers found on Denker Avenue near 223rd Street in Harbor Gateway.
Officers pulled the car over. One man inside was arrested on suspicion of robbery. His name was not immediately released as detectives work to identify the other robber.
