Jasmond Tyjan Gillins, 20, of 2711 Ridgeview Court in High Point, and Jasean Terrell Gillins, 21, of 208 White St., were taken into custody Friday for allegedly robbing Total Beauty Supply at 210 National Highway at gun point. Both Gillins were charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon. TPD had been looking for suspects since Thursday afternoon after receiving a call regarding the armed robbery shortly after 3 p.m.
According to a TPD press release, four to five suspects walked into Total Beauty Supply when one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and demanded money. The suspects robbed the clerk of his wallet as well as an undisclosed amount of cash from the store and fled in a light-colored Jeep Cherokee. The clerk’s wallet was later found in the store parking lot.
TPD’s Criminal Investigations Division, with assistance from Vice Detectives and Special Response Team, executed a search warrant on Friday at 208 White St., believing that was the address where some of the suspects and property from the robbery were located. As a result of the search warrant, police arrested two of the suspects and found some of the stolen property.
TPD said charges are pending on four additional suspects who are believed to have been involved in Thursday’s robbery. Attempts to reach detectives investigating the case on Monday were unsuccessful.
One of the brothers, Jasmond Gillins, has a criminal background involving firearms. According to the North Carolina Department of Corrections, Jasmond was arrested last April in Guilford County and charged with larceny of a firearm, larceny of a motor vehicle, felony breaking and entering, and obtaining property by writing worthless checks. He was sentenced to 60 months supervised probation.
Jasmond and Jesean Gillis were issued $100,000 and $50,000 secured bonds, respectively, and are scheduled to appear in Thomasville District Court on Jan. 15.
