Orange County officers arrested two men just hours after they allegedly robbed a mother, her young son, and her infant of their belongings at gunpoint.

According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, on Tuesday, August 9, a woman with her infant and young child was standing by a business on South Orange Blossom Trail when they were approached by 18-year-old Joshua Davila.
