Police said the suspects fled in a "lifted" 2006 black Toyota Tacoma.

The department said Sunday that an arrest was made in the case. A police Facebook post with photos of the two men and an appeal to the public for information about the "melon head" suspects was deleted Monday after the arrest was announced.
