ROBBERY SUSPECTS APPREHENDED
Stafford, Va. The Stafford County Sheriff's Office reports the arrest of three suspects in an armed robbery that took place at Cigarettes Unlimited, 712 Warrenton Road in Stafford , this morning, April 9, 2009. The three suspects are Ariel Peisahovish, age 25, of Holgate Street , Staten Island , New York , Vyacheslav Elentulch, age 24, of Brighton Beach , Brooklyn , New York and Dmitry Khavkin, age 26, of 1900 Ocean Avenue , Brooklyn , New York .
Each suspect has been charged with 2 Counts of Robbery, 2 Counts of the Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony and 1 Count of Abduction.
The Stafford County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call this morning at 7:56 reporting a robbery had just taken place. The caller told Dispatchers that the clerk at Cigarettes Unlimited store had been robbed at gun point and that three white males had left the scene in a white van with New York plates. The individual who called 911 (who was working in the suite next door) heard the clerk yelling after the suspects left. That individual came out of his business and spotted the van leaving the scene and was able to get a license plate number and relay that to the authorities. The suspects had locked the victim’s store and thrown the keys in the grass outside. The same employee from the business next door spotted the keys and unlocked the door to Cigarettes Unlimited. The victim, who was inside Cigarettes Unlimited, was secured to a chair with tape by the suspects. The suspects were in the store for over 30 minutes loading boxes of tobacco products in the van they were driving.
A lookout was issued describing the vehicle and the license plate number. Deputy Chris Armitage and Deputy Josh Truslow were on I- 95 north in anticipation that the suspects might use I- 95 as an escape route. Deputy Truslow spotted the vehicle on I- 95 north and he and Deputy Armitage fell in behind the van and made a felony stop, with back-up, at mile marker 150 north on I- 95. The suspects were taken into custody without incident.
The vehicle was searched and found in the van was a fully loaded 40 caliber hand gun and a fully loaded, pistol grip, 12 gauge shotgun. In addition, close to 1000 cartoons of cigarettes, having a value of $7,000.00, were also located in the van.
The victim was transported to Mary Washington Hospital as a precautionary measure. She was treated and released.
“This is just another example of citizens working hand in hand with the Sheriff’s Office to apprehend dangerous criminals,” states Sheriff Charles Jett. “Because of the witness’s willingness to get involved and the ability of the deputies to anticipate the actions of these criminals, the deputies were able to make a quick apprehension.”
