Fishers police say two Indianapolis suspects, one adult and one juvenile, have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery and carjacking outside an IHOP restaurant near 96th Street.
Police say the incident happened Monday, May 25, at about 10:39 p.m. in the parking lot of the IHOP at 9750 North by Northeast Boulevard, just north of East 96th Street. According to the Fishers Police Department, one of the suspects pointed a gun with an extended magazine at the victim and demanded the keys to the victim’s vehicle.
Police say both suspects then entered the vehicle and drove away. The victim was not injured.
On Tuesday, May 26, Fishers police arrested 18-year-old Khalil Glover and a 17-year-old juvenile, both from Indianapolis. Police say each suspect faces four felony charges. The juvenile also faces one additional misdemeanor charge.
Fishers officers used the FLOCK camera system to determine the stolen vehicle had been driven toward Binford Boulevard in Indianapolis. That information was shared with nearby law enforcement agencies. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police later located the victim’s vehicle at an Indianapolis apartment complex. The vehicle was unoccupied, but police say additional evidence belonging to the victim was found nearby.
Fishers detectives also collected surveillance video from near the robbery scene, which helped provide descriptions of the suspects’ clothing. Detectives assigned to the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force, working with FBI special agents, later located two suspects at the same apartment complex wearing clothing matching what was seen in the surveillance video.
After Fishers detectives obtained a search warrant, IMPD SWAT and IMPD K9 units assisted in serving the warrant and making the arrests. Police say they found additional evidence connected to the robbery and carjacking, including items belonging to the victim and the firearm used in the incident.
According to police, Glover confessed during an interview and admitted the juvenile was with him during the robbery.
Both suspects were transported to the Hamilton County Jail.
“When someone in our city, whether a resident or someone visiting is victimized, we take it personal,” Fishers Police Chief Ed Gebhart said. “We will use all our resources, all our people, and all our partnerships to find criminals and hold them accountable.”
Gebhart credited both technology and police work in the case.
“Technology helps us, but it’s just a tool for good old fashioned police work to take place,” Gebhart said. “I’m extremely proud of our team and our ability to work with our law enforcement partners.”
