The three were armed with pellet guns when they robbed a man at the Beaumont home according to the indictments.
All three are still being held at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on bonds of over $225,000 each according to jail records.
In December 2023, officers responded to a home in the 4800 block of Steelton St after a caller told dispatchers two armed men were robbing multiple people in a front yard according to a file story.
The caller told dispatchers the armed men eventually forced the victims inside the home after taking their wallets according to a news release from the Beaumont Police Department.
When officers got there the men were taking televisions from the home but ran when police arrived the release said.
One suspect was caught after a brief foot chase and another was caught behind the wheel of a Dodge Nitro nearby police said.
The third suspect tried to hide under a shed a block away but was discovered and arrested with the help of a police dog.
During the arrests police found the guns used in the robbery as well as stolen property according to the release.
This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
