Phoenix police nab suspects in alleged ‘takedown-style’ robberies

PHOENIX — Two suspects have been arrested by Phoenix police for allegedly conducting “takedown-style” armed robberies at two businesses last month.

Pablo Escobar Castillo, 30, and Osvaldo Campa, 32, have allegedly admitted to being involved in two robberies, both occurring on the night of April 29. 

According to Phoenix police, the suspects entered a business near 20th Avenue and Thunderbird Road. One of them was armed and the other gathered property from the business. 

About an hour later, the suspects committed another robbery at a business near Grovers Avenue and Cave Creek Road. They left before police officers arrived.

Campa and Castillo were arrested on May 6 and are facing multiple charges.
