Authorities have arrested two men accused of committing armed robberies at two New Jersey hotels last year.
Jibril M. Beamon, 32, of Somerset, and Shedrick A. Goodridge III, 35, of Jersey City, were both arrested on Thursday following search warrants at their homes, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. They are each charged with two counts of first-degree armed robbery and multiple weapons offenses.
Investigators allege that the two men robbed Comfort Suites in Newark on Sept. 19, 2024, and Hampton Inn in Teaneck two days later.
In both robberies, two armed subjects in masks stormed into the lobby, demanded cash from hotel staff and took off with the stolen money before police arrived, authorities said.
Prosecutors did not detail the evidence that led to their arrests.
They are both in custody at Bergen County Jail pending detention hearings, authorities said.
