Shane Wentz and Justice Lange

Two people have been arrested in connection to two armed robberies earlier this week, as well as a burglary. Justice Lange, 19, and Shane Wentz, 39, each face five counts of a Class B felony of conspiracy to commit robbery and one count of Class C felony conspiracy to commit burglary.

According to the Bismarck Tribune, Lange admitted to robbing Main Stay Suites (located at 2507 N 9th Street) and Country West Shell (located at 2505 Tyler Parkway) at gunpoint after Wentz lost his nerve at three previous robbery attempts of area hotels. Wentz and Lange have also admitted to burglarizing Soap & Suds Laundry Mat on Bowent Avenue.
