The suspects were located in the Town and Country Shopping Center in the 8200 block of Stockdale Highway, where they abandoned their vehicle and tried to blend in with shoppers.
Several people called sheriff's department dispatchers and said Alejandro Jacobo had entered the Trader Joe's store. He was arrested inside the store and Louis Jacobo was arrested after leaving the Albertson's in the center.
The third, unidentified suspect was able to escape.
