Thomasville Police Department continues making arrests in connection to last month’s robbery of a local beauty salon.

With two suspects already in custody, TPD announced the arrest of two more people believed to be involved in the Dec. 17 robbery of Total Beauty Supply at 210 National Highway.

Michael Antwaan Cobb, 23, of 201 White St., and Kimani Chepel Davis, 18, of 113 Larkspur, were taken into custody earlier in the week and charged for their role in the robbery. Cobb is charged with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon and is believed to be the one who produced a small caliber handgun during the crime. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center and issued a $50,000 secured bond. Davis is charged with felony aiding and abetting an armed robbery and was placed in the detention center with no bond.

“They went in, one individual displayed a weapon and a lot of clothing and a wallet was taken,” Det. Steve Truell said. “We recovered the wallet and half the clothing.”

On Dec. 20, TPD arrested Jesean Terrell Gillins, 21, of 201 White St., and Jasmond Tyjuan Gillins, 20, of 2711 Ridgeview Court in High Point, and charged the brothers with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon. Truell said TPD received information regarding some of the stolen property and executed a search warrant at 201 White St. TPD not only recovered some of the stolen property, which included hats, clothing and shoes, but the Gillins brothers as well. Truell said more arrests are forthcoming.

“Six people were involved in the robbery and five are in custody,” said Truell. “One resides in Jamestown that we’re actively looking for. He’s not local so we’re having a hard time locating him right now. We had all of them, it has just taken us awhile to find all these people with the holidays. Another person has been charged as an accessory who assisted in the robbery.”

Jasmond Gillins also had a criminal background involving firearms, breaking and entering and obtaining property by false pretenses.
