Two men from Poughkeepsie have been arrested on felony charges in connection with an armed robbery of a Sunoco station in Hyde Park Feb. 18.
According to a Hyde Park Police report, officers received a call at 8:59pm for a silent hold-up alarm at the gas station at 381 Violet Ave. The clerk reported that a male entered the store and displayed a large knife, demanded money, then fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash, the report said.
