A James City County man was arrested Tuesday in connection to a Dec. 8 robbery at a residence on York Street, according to Williamsburg Police.
Kenneth Eugene Rew II was apprehended by Newport News Police without incident Tuesday and arrested on warrants for robbery, breaking and entering, conspiracy to commit robbery and wearing a mask in public, Williamsburg Police spokesman Maj. Greg Riley said.
Around 11:20 a.m., two men pushed their way into a residence in the 400 block of York Street, brandished a firearm and demanded money, Riley said.
The suspects took an undetermined amount of cash and then fled, crossing over the railroad tracks onto Penniman Road, police said.
The victim described the men as two black males, one wearing all dark clothing and the other wearing a gray track suit and a black ski mask, Riley said.
The victim was not injured during the incident.
The other man accused in the robbery, 19-year-old Bryan Thomas Brooks, of Richmond, was arrested near the Valero on York Street after the incident Dec. 8. A nearby officer had seen a man fitting the description of one of the men, and took him into custody.
Brooks was taken to the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail Dec. 8 and charged with robbery, breaking and entering and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Rew appeared in the Williamsburg-James City County General District Court Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. for arraignment.
Brooks is scheduled to appear for a hearing in the Williamsburg-James City County General District Court on Jan. 19 at 10:30 a.m. He is being represented by attorney Paul Freeman.
