From Beaumont Police Department:

Officers located the suspects in the area of 7th and Dollinger, where they were taken into custody.
The suspects were identified as 30-year-old James Roberts and 33-year-old Gabriella Rogers.
Both suspects were placed under arrest and transported to BPD to speak with detectives prior to being transported to the Jefferson County Correction Facility for aggravated robbery.
