Pair Charged in Armed Robbery of Deptford Bank

Two men, one of whom is still at large, have been charged in connection with an armed robbery of a branch of The Bank in Deptford in May, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday.

Warren Christopher Davis, 30, of Camden, and Dwayne Tribbett, 30, of Woodbury, donned masks and brandished an Uzi-style submachine gun when they allegedly robbed The Bank on Park Avenue on May 9.

Davis was arrested on July 1 in Camden, but not for the bank robbery–there was a bench warrant out for him for failure to appear for a June 15 court hearing in Woodbury on a criminal restraint charge in Paulsboro. He has been in the Gloucester County Jail since that arrest by officers from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and the GCPO fugitive unit.

Davis also had outstanding arrest warrants for failure to make child support payments and car theft in Philadelphia.

Tribbett, whose last address was on Lippincott Avenue in Woodbury, remains on the loose.

Both have been charged by Deptford police with first-degree robbery, first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and third-degree theft over $10,000.

Davis is also 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 ammunition magazine and fourth-degree pointing a firearm at another.

Bail for both was set today at $200,000.

The cooperative investigation by the FBI Violent Offender Task force, the Deptford police department and the GCPO’s fugitive unit leading to Thursday’s charges used leads developed from several informants, prosecutors said.

Locating Davis, who has lived in Camden and Gloucester counties, was challenging, prosecutors said, since he apparently believed he was being sought for the bank heist.

Anyone with information on Tribbett is asked to contact Sgt. Barry Johnson of the GCPO fugitive unit at 856-498-5485, or provide an anonymous text message by texting GLOTIP the message and 274637.
