Two men are at the Cumberland County Jail this morning after being charged with robbing a home off Ocean Street in South Portland yesterday.

Marc Webster, 28, of Portland, and Jason Weymouth, 32, a transient (seen below) were charged with felony Class A robbery charges after police caught them on Revere Street in Portland.

Police began searching for the perpetrators around 3:14 p.m. yesterday, after a 20-year-old woman, a 19-year-old male and a 21-year-old male called 911 and reported they had been robbed of cash at knife point, while inside an apartment on the 300 block of Ocean Street.

After launching a full search that included Portland police officers, the two suspects were caught.

Police say they believe this was not a random act, as they believe the victims and suspects were acquainted.
