PROVIDENCE -- Three men who are suspects in an armed robbery here this morning are slated to be arraigned in District Court, Providence, tomorrow. The police declined to name the suspects, who lived in Providence. They will be charged with first-degree robbery, according to Providence police Maj. Thomas F. Oates III. About 10:35 a.m. today, the police responded to the Georgia Avenue area for a reported robbery in which a male and female said they were robbed at gunpoint by three people who fled in a car bearing a temporary Rhode Island license plate. An officer saw the vehicle on Eddy Street and began a pursuit that went on for several minutes, at one point ending up on Route 95, then back onto city streets. The suspects abandoned the car on the area of Gordon Avenue and Colfax Street and fled on foot, according to Oates. Numerous police, including State Police, were involved in the pursuit. Providence police apprehended the three suspects. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney
