MINEOLA, NY — Authorities have arrested two teenagers they say robbed six T-Mobile stores on Long Island, including one in Mineola.

Lanizja Myers, 19, of Rosedale, and Elyanni Sesay, 19, of Brooklyn, are both charged with five counts of first-degree robbery, fourth-degree grand larceny, and third-degree criminal mischief.

Nassau County police say Myers and Sesay stole Apple Watches and iPhones from half a dozen T-Mobile stores between Sept. 29 and Nov. 4. In instances when a store employee intervened, police said the duo brandished a taser and pepper spray.
