Authorities reported that a 19-year-old man was arrested in connection with a cellphone snatching incident in the city on Wednesday.

Police said the robbery occurred around 3 a.m. and involved a motorcycle-riding suspect. A concerned citizen reported the incident to authorities, leading to the suspect’s arrest.
The stolen cellphone and the suspect’s motorcycle were recovered. He is now in police custody pending charges.
