Two suspects were arrested Tuesday in connection with a three-county investigation into a string of robberies in Jefferson, Chambers and Orange County.
“On Tuesday, January 26, 2021, the Jefferson County Fugitive Warrant Division along with Detectives from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the Beaumont Police Department arrested 22-year-old Moses Ray Rhine of Beaumont and 17-year-old K’Leb J’Corey Diamond of Beaumont,” a statement from the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office said. “The warrants are related to several Aggravated Robberies in Jefferson County, Orange County, and Chambers County.”
In each of the robberies, police say masked subjects armed with a handgun have entered convenience stores and demanded money from the cash registers and safes before fleeing on foot.
Rhine was arrested for four warrants with bonds totaling 2 million dollars. Diamond’s arrest warrant from Orange County had no preset bond.
Detectives with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s, Beaumont Police Department, and surrounding area law enforcement agencies have been investigating a string of Aggravated Robberies involving these two suspects, and others, over the last few months.
Additional arrests and charges are anticipated.
