BROCKTON, Mass. — Police have made an arrest in the armed robbery at an AT&T store in Brockton last month.

Carlos DeBarros, 45, of Brockton, was arrested after officers, including K9 Hawk, were able to track the suspect’s trail and recover a duffel bag containing stolen property, cash, and a sawed-off shotgun.

Detectives have also allegedly identified the getaway driver.

DeBarros faces multiple felony charges after allegedly entering the store with a shotgun, restraining two employees, and stealing thousands of dollars in cash and electronics before fleeing on foot.

No injuries were reported.
