On 12/22/21 at 11:56 p.m., SPD patrol officers responded to Domino’s Pizza on Chandler Road to meet with a driver who had been robbed while making a delivery to University Point Apartments. The driver stated that several subjects armed with guns had met him in the parking lot of the apartment complex and robbed him of his pizzas. Officers arrived at University Point and began searching for the suspects. The on-call detective responded to the area as well.
Working with officers from the Georgia Southern University Police Department, the SPD officers were able to identify a particular apartment in the complex in which the suspects were believed to have concealed themselves. Detectives applied for a search warrant for the apartment. Multiple individuals were located inside along with guns, marijuana, and evidence linking the occupants to the robbery of the delivery driver. One of the guns found had previously been reported stolen.
