Two Suspects Arrested in Armed Robbery Spree Targeting Norcross Grocery Stores

Gwinnett County Police have arrested two suspects linked to a string of armed robberies at Norcross grocery stores in May.

On May 13, a male and female suspect robbed El Amigo Grocery Store at 6065 South Norcross Tucker Road and later the same day robbed La Escondida Grocery Store at 6060 Singleton Road. In both cases, the suspects entered armed with handguns and demanded cash from the registers. During the second robbery, the store clerk had a baby in a stroller at the time.

The same suspects were believed to be involved in another robbery days later in DeKalb County.

Through surveillance and use of FLOCK cameras, investigators identified and stopped a suspect vehicle. The male suspect, Jairo Adalid Martinez-Villafranca, 37, of Norcross, was arrested and charged with two counts each of armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and child cruelty in the third degree.

Detectives later identified the female suspect as Belki Yureimi Reyes-Cordova, 28, also of Norcross. She was arrested on June 5 and faces the same charges.

Both suspects are being held in the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.
