The case is under investigat­ion by members of the Criminal Investigat­ions Unit. The motive, as well as other facts behind the robbery, are part of that investigat­ion, police said.

Both men were arraigned and sent to Saratoga County Jail for lack of bail.

Police say Luciano sustained a cut to his nose before officers located and took him into custody.
