HARVARD, MASS. (WHDH) - Four people accused of robbing a delivery driver in Massachusetts on Thursday were tracked down and arrested on Friday in Rhode Island.
Surveillance video from Thursday afternoon shows a FedEx driver delivering a computer in a private driveway of a home on Stow Road in Harvard.

Another person approaches from the other side.
Both jumped in a white car with Connecticut license plates and fled.
