Two are in custody and the search for a third continues following the robbery of the Valero
store at Twin City Highway and Spurlock Road. A witness was able to follow the suspects
and notify authorities. Jefferson County deputies caught up to the fleeing vehicle and three
black males jumped out of the rolling car and fled on foot. A 16-year old was quickly
apprehended. A perimeter was set up and deputies found a 19-year old hiding under a house
on Spurlock Road. A possible third suspect was found walking near 18th & Spurlock. He was
dirty and had some minor injuries. He was questioned and released. An arrest could be coming
pending eye-witness statements. The vehicle the suspects were in was reported stolen in
Beaumont. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office wants to commend the citizens in that area
that assisted in locating the suspects.
