CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Five men have been arrested after the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said the men robbed two victims at gunpoint in south Charlotte.
According to police, the four men are accused of robbing two Hispanic victims at gunpoint near the 8300 block of Sharon Lakes Road. The CMPD’s Aviation Unit arrived to assist in the search of the suspects, and less than four minutes later, they located them in a white Toyota Camry fleeing the area at a high rate of speed, police said.
For the next seven minutes, officers in the helicopter kept a steady eye on the vehicle and provided turn-by-turn directions to ground units. Patrol units converged on the suspect vehicle and stopped it, ultimately arresting five suspects. A search of the vehicle also revealed two pistols, a BB gun, two ski masks, and property belonging to the victim.
All five suspects were interviewed by detectives and were subsequently transferred to the custody of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.
The five arrested were 19-year-old Se’Jour Christopher Frederick, 20-year-old Nathaniel Williams II, 18-year-old Brandon Dequris Foster, 18-year-old Christian Jahmyhal Smith and 18-year-old Brandon Davion Ellison.
