Two arrested in connection with Ithaca robbery

By: Web Staff

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Two people were arrested after Ithaca police say they were involved in a home invasion robbery in the city.

The victim told police three people entered his home on Lake Avenue Thursday morning and demanded money. One of them showed a weapon.

The suspects took off as police arrived.

A short time later, police arrested Elizabeth Minor, 33, and charged her with robbery. They also arrested Jameel Melton, 28, after police say he pulled what looked like a gun on police during their pursuit. Officers say it turns out the weapon was actually a pellet gun.

Melton has been charged with robbery, obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and criminal possession of a weapon.

Police are still looking for the third suspect.

If you have any information about the incident, call Ithaca police at (607) 272-3245.
