Two women arrested for robbery and burglary

Idaho Falls Police have arrested two women for two counts of robbery and one count of burglary.

26 year old Christine Hinckley and 24 year old Philicia Ellingford were both arrested and booked into the Bonneville County Jail following an incident that occurred in the 1300 block of Garfield on Wednesday.

According to police reports, officers responded to the 1300 block of Garfield around 10:15 a.m. for a report of a robbery that occurred earlier. Two victims stated that around 4:30 a.m. Hinckley, whom they knew, knocked on the door of their residence. When the victims opened the door, Hinckley pushed past them and entered the residence. Ellingford and three men came into the residence shortly after Hinckley. Hinckley, who had a hand taser, told one of the victims he owed her money. She and Ellingford then proceeded to take a television, a Dell computer tower and other electronics from the residence.

The items were valued at about $2,500. This incident is still under investigation.
