They were both charged with robbery and armed robbery. Blevins was also charged with robbery, armed robbery, one count of first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault, police said.

No mugshots of the pair were yet available Monday, a Baltimore County police spokeswoman said, due to an ongoing investigation.
