The soldier, a 20-year-old and 27-year-old, all from Paradise Heights, Morvant are currently in police custody.
According to reports, around 9.30 pm a businessman was at his electronics store on Frederick Street, when three men entered the business place.
They announced a holdup, demanded cash and subsequently gagged the owner and relieved him of $1,600.
A report was made to the police, who responded in quick time and proceeded to the scene of the incident.
PC Mohammed and officers of the Port of Spain Task Force confronted the suspects, who were allegedly in possession of housebreaking implements.
