Round Rock: Two Arrested in Connection With High-Value Jewelry Store Robbery

Arrests Made in High-Value Premium Outlets Robbery

The Round Rock Police Department has made significant progress in an intensive, ongoing investigation regarding a major commercial robbery. According to an official press release issued on Monday, two men from Houston have been formally arrested in connection with a brazen daylight robbery that specifically targeted a jewelry store located at the busy Round Rock Premium Outlets. The traumatic incident originally occurred on the afternoon of April 21, 2026. Authorities identified the arrested individuals as 24-year-old Jalen Javon Davis and 25-year-old Leslie La Vun Jones II. The successful arrests mark a crucial and highly anticipated step forward for local detectives who have been diligently working on the complex case for over a month in an effort to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Violent Smash-and-Grab Tactic Used by Masked Suspects

The original armed robbery was urgently reported to authorities at approximately 12:47 p.m. on April 21. Frightened witnesses described a highly chaotic and terrifying scene in which multiple masked suspects forcefully entered the retail jewelry store armed with heavy hammers. The suspects aggressively and methodically smashed the store's glass display cases, quickly stealing a significant amount of high-value jewelry and precious stones before fleeing the crowded outlet mall. Following the destructive incident, Round Rock Police creatively leveraged a combination of detailed witness statements, extensive review of local surveillance footage, and advanced automated license plate reader technology to successfully track the fleeing suspect vehicles and identify the individuals allegedly involved. The Houston Police Department and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office provided vital, cross-jurisdictional assistance in executing the recent arrests. While Davis and Jones are currently in police custody, Round Rock police officials have explicitly stated that they fully anticipate making additional arrests as the active investigation into the remaining masked suspects continues to unfold.
