Two adults and a teenager have been arrested in connection to a string of cash register robberies in Fresno.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Video released by the Fresno Police Department shows a man walking out of Best Buy with two cash registers.

Fresno Police said the suspect walked behind the counter, grabbed two cash registers and proceeded to walk out of the store on February 1 a little before 5 p.m.

In the video, you can see employees trying to stop the suspect in the red jacket.

"They feel entitled to rob us or rob the stores because nobody is gonna do anything about it. You're not gonna try to stop them, cause you don't know if they're gonna be dangerous," said Gustavo Carranzo.

The suspect was seen running through the parking lot with another man before leaving in an unidentified vehicle.

Police said moments later, the Deli Delicious on Shields near Highway 41 was robbed,

Anthony Bryan Rojas and Raymond Rojas were later stopped by Reedley Police. When officers searched their vehicle, they said they found an excessive amount of cash.

The two were arrested for robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime.

An unidentified teenager was also taken into custody by Sanger Police.

Investigators said the suspects abandoned the cash registers. Later, a person found the empty registers and contacted the Fresno County Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office made police aware of the discovery.

"Hopefully, they'll prosecute these people to the fullest extent, so they'll be less likely to do it again. And maybe other people won't follow in their footsteps," said Fresno resident Chip Dahl.

He adds that he has been concerned about public safety since hearing of the robbery.

Brenda Soto agrees.

"Putting myself in those shoes, walking into the store, that's pretty scary to encounter something like that. Even looking at it live, I don't know what I would do," said Soto.

Soto said she shops at River Park often and adds she's now thinking about what she would do in an emergency.

The Fresno Police Department is handling this investigation. We have contacted them to request more information, but we have yet to hear back.
