PEARLAND, Texas (KTRK) -- Pearland police said the search for a juvenile suspect accused of aggravated robbery is over after he was reportedly found and taken into custody in Miami, Florida.

ORIGINAL STORY: Suspect wanted after man assaulted, robbed following ATM withdrawal, Pearland police say

According to the Pearland Police Department, on June 19, officers responded to a robbery investigation at a Walgreens located in the 11600 block of Shadow Creek Parkway. Investigators said that a 79-year-old man had just withdrawn cash from a nearby ATM and was returning to his vehicle when another man approached him.

The suspect then assaulted the 79-year-old, causing bodily injury, officers said, before stealing the victim's wallet and the cash he had just withdrawn.

Pearland PD said on June 30 that a search was underway for the suspect, whose identity police did not reveal because he is a juvenile.

In an update on Monday, Pearland officials said that after several investigative leads provided by members of the community, the suspect was found and detained in Miami, Florida. Police said the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement were involved in the investigation and arrest of the suspect.

Pearland PD said the suspect was taken safely back to Texas, where he was placed in the Brazoria County Juvenile Detention Center. He was charged with aggravated robbery of an elderly or disabled person, which is a first-degree felony, authorities said.

Investigators said they arrested two additional suspects involved in the incident in June, including 30-year-old Donte Bell, identified as the alleged getaway driver, and 23-year-old Demondtra Moore, identified as the alleged lookout. Both Bell and Moore are charged with aggravated robbery, officials said.
