Two suspects still being sought, man with gun under arrest.

One suspect was arrested Saturday morning on suspicion of armed robbery of a couple in the Bridgeport area and possibly two others are still at large.

Matthew Booth, 18, of Saugus and two others allegedly approached the couple around 10:15 p.m. as they were walking, demanding their money.

The couple initially refused, but then saw that Booth had a gun and gave up their cash, losing approximately $500.
