Charlottesville Police responded to an armed robbery which occurred Sunday between the hours of 2:30 and 3 a.m. in the 500 block of 14th Street NW, Charlottesville Police Lt. Ronnie Roberts said. The victims were University students, according to a press statement released yesterday by Charlottesville Police.
A group of male assailants "entered the residence with a handgun," Roberts said, and took property belonging to the residents. He declined to release any information about the type of residence involved or about the value of the stolen items.
The assailants then "fled on foot toward the Corner commercial district," University Police Chief Michael Gibson said in a University-wide email.
Charlottesville Police yesterday arrested Quintorrian Carter, Lee Butler III and one juvenile, all from Martinsville, Va., in connection with the incident for possession of a deadly weapon, robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to the release. Roberts said police are currently searching for a fourth suspect in the crime, Quadre Amon Dickerson, also from Martinsville.
