RANDOLPH — A second suspect who allegedly fled the scene of an armed robbery in Randolph last week was arrested on Friday, Randolph Police Chief Anthony Marag announced in a written statement.

On Friday, May 17, Randolph Police and Malden Police arrested Eliezer Beato, 20, of Malden, at a residence on Warren Avenue in Malden, police said. During a search of his person police seized eight stolen checks, they said.

Both men fled the scene, prompting a large police response as they attempted to locate both suspects.

According to reporting by Enterprise news partner WCVB, a witness says the suspects fled in a white car, but when they pulled into a cul-de-sac, they abandoned the car and continued on foot.

Shaun Culbreath-Isles, 18, of Malden, was taken into custody by Randolph Police after a foot pursuit. He had allegedly stolen jewelry and a cell phone from the victim, police said. He was also found to be in possession of stolen checks, they said.

He was charged with armed robbery, possession of a firearm without an FID Card, possession of burglary tools and receiving stolen property, police said.
