In a cooperative investigation by the FBI Violent Offender Task force, the Deptford Township (NJ) Police Department and the Gloucester County (NJ) Prosecutor’s Office fugitive unit, two men were charged today (7/14) with armed robbery of The Bank on Park Avenue in Deptford NJ on May 9, 2011 in which an Uzi-style submachine gun was used by one of two masked men.

One of the suspects, Dwayne Tribbett (DOB 5/20/80), whose last address was 1026 Lippincott Ave., Woodbury NJ, remains at large.

The other accused in the robbery is Warren Christopher Davis (DOB 5/29/80), of 1256 Octagon Rd., Camden NJ. He is under arrest.

Both men are charged by Deptford police with first-degree robbery, first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and third-degree theft over $10,000. Davis also is charged with second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon; second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose; second-degree certain persons not to have a weapon; fourth-degree possession of a large capacity ammo magazine and fourth-degree pointing a firearm at another. Bail for both was set today at $200,000.

Davis has been in the Gloucester County Jail since his July 1 arrest in Camden on a bench warrant for failure to appear for a June 15 court hearing in Woodbury on a criminal restraint charge in Paulsboro. Davis also had outstanding arrest arrants
for failure to make child support payments and car theft in Philadelphia. Officers of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and the GCPO fugitive unit arrested Davis.

The investigation leading to today’s charges utilized leads developed from several informants. Locating Davis, who has lived in Camden and Gloucester counties, was challenging, since he apparently believed he was being sought for the bank hold-up.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Dwayne Tribbett is asked to contact Sgt. Barry Johnson of the GCPO fugitive unit at (856) 548-5485 or provide an anonymous text message. Text GLOTIP and the message and 274637.
