EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — A 57-year-old Central El Paso man has been arrested in connection with an aggravated robbery reported earlier this month at a business in Downtown El Paso.
El Paso police said officers responded on May 6 to a robbery in progress at a business in the 900 block of S. Stanton in Segundo Barrio.

Investigators later determined the suspect stole cash and the owner’s wallet, police said.
Officers identified Torres as the suspect during the investigation.
