PHOENIX — Two more suspects have been arrested in connection to the unrest at Scottsdale Fashion Square last May, police said Tuesday.
Both Ivan Nunez-Mendoza and Seneca Rodriguez were arrested on May 26 on felony charges of burglary. Nunez-Mendoza was booked and released.

Nunez-Mendoza allegedly broke into the Mercedes-Benz dealership and stole sunglasses.
He was captured on dealership surveillance video tipping over a display and removing merchandise from the dealership, according to authorities.
