Jermaine was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Camden County on May 18. He was charged with first degree robbery and weapons offenses. He is currently in Camden County Jail awaiting trial.

Safeek was arrested Monday by U.S. Marshals in Philadelphia. Authorities say he was in possession of a handgun at the time of his arrest. Safeek was charged with first degree robbery and weapons offenses. He is currently being detained in Philadelphia pending extradition, prosecutors say.
