Outstanding investigative work by South Precinct detectives and flex officers led to the arrest of two 17-year-old robbery suspects last week.
Justin Doshawn Williams, of Laurent Street, and Andrew Byrd, of Stainback Avenue, are accused of robbing the Wing Stop restaurant at 847 Hamilton Crossing just before midnight March 13. Both were wearing masks and armed with handguns. The doors to the business were locked and the suspects ran away. Ten minutes later, police responded to a robbery in the 5800 block of Crossing Boulevard where a 36-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot outside his apartment.
Moments later, Flex officers spotted the suspect getaway car on Hickory Hollow Terrace. The driver and two passengers bailed from the Buick sedan. Byrd was captured a short time later. The victims’ wallet and a handgun were recovered. Byrd admitted his involvement in the Wing Stop robbery. Williams was later identified as a suspect in the second robbery. Both are charged in Juvenile Court with aggravated robbery.
Arrest warrants charging a third 17-year-old with aggravated robbery have been issued. Detectives are working to locate him.
