Clinton JohnsonTravas L. Byrd Boca Raton Fla May 26 2013 Four Pompano Beach men have been charged in connection with the gunpoint robbery of a Boca Raton T-Mobile store late last year, Boca police said.
Each of the suspects was taken into custody by the Broward Sheriff's Office, according to a news release issued by Boca Raton police on Friday.
The afternoon heist on Dec. 2 began when two men pretending to be customers walked into the T-Mobile store at 2301 W. Glades Rd., police said.
After brandishing handguns, the pair forced two employees and a customer into a back storage area. Two other accomplices showed up. The victims were pepper-sprayed and handcuffed, and the robbers left with cash and phones.
Clear surveillance images of four males thought to be the robbers were released to the media.
Georges RichardsonTipsters identified Travas Byrd, 31, as one of the participants, police said. Three other robbers and a person who acted as a lookout were also identified.
The other suspects in custody are Allen Eugene, 21, Clinton Johnson, 22, and Georges Richardson, 21.
Byrd was arrested by Broward sheriff's deputies on an unrelated warrant on Dec. 12. He confessed to the robbery and "implicated Allen Eugene as the mastermind," Boca Raton police said.
Allen EugeneEugene was picked up Jan. 3. on an unrelated warrant, while Johnson was nabbed for allegedly violating probation on May 3. Richardson was arrested May 17.
Eugene told detectives he pepper-sprayed the victims, but he refused to give the names of his accomplices, police said. Johnson allegedly admitted his role in a phone call from jail.
Byrd, Eugene and Johnson are charged with robbery with a firearm and kidnapping. Richardson is charged as a principal in the first-degree armed robbery and kidnapping.
"The investigation is ongoing, and further charges may be forthcoming," a Boca Raton police press release said.
