The latest arrest was made on Wednesday, April 12 after an ongoing investigation that began following the incident in Dutchess County on Saturday, July 2, 2022, in the town of Pleasant Valley.
The three men, all from the city of Poughkeepsie, are accused of participating in an armed robbery at a Pleasant Valley residence during which cash was stolen and two victims suffered minor injuries, said Capt. John Watterson, of the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office.
"The incident was not random and there was no danger to the public as a whole," Watterson said.
It is alleged that these particular victims were specifically targeted for the robbery, Watterson said.
"Information was previously withheld because this investigation has been a complex one that relied heavily on confidentiality to be successful," he added.
