Suspect Caught after Terrifying Robbery

myFOXaustin(AUSTIN) - The three men accused of terrorizing and robbing a sales clerk at Discoteca 2000 in east Austin have now been arrested.

Almost nine months after the crime the last of the three, 19-year-old Rodrigo Olivares, was booked Friday evening. Concepcion Trevina's family owns the store; it was one of her employees who was behind the counter the day of the robbery. She says the men asked to look at some jewelry and when the clerk opened the case, one of the men jumped over the counter and held a gun to her head. Meanwhile the other two snatched everything from the Jewelry case. In all about $50,000 worth of merchandise was gone in just seconds.

She says as a single mom, this store helps keep her afloat. The business took a major hit after the economy took a turn for the worse. Now she's just relieved the three men are paying for their crime.

That's thanks to the more than 9 digital surveillance cameras installed all throughout the store. When the suspects came in the day of the robbery they wore hats to hide their faces, what they didn't know is when they came in the day before to survey the store they were also caught on camera. According to court records stills from a surveillance camera led to several tips days after the robbery, that's when two of the men were arrested.

Trevino says although the cameras didn't deter the men from actually committing the crime it could now deter other criminals by knowing it was these pictures that landed the suspects in jail.
