Two arrested in robbery of elderly woman; third suspect sought

Renan Reyes Pablo Jr., 18, and Than Phouc Huynh, 19, were identified as suspects through the sale of some silver coins taken during an early-morning robbery at the woman's home, police said.

The two were booked on charges of armed robbery, false imprisonment and crimes against the elderly after being questioned at police headquarters.

A 17-year-old was still being sought.

Lee Healy, 82, was sleeping when the suspects entered her home around 1 a.m. on Feb. 25.

Authorities said the robbers hit her on the head, bound her hands and covered her mouth with duct tape, ripped the phone cord from the wall and threatened to shoot her.

The suspects took cash, silver coins and personal items.

The victim was treated at a hospital and released after the robbery.
