TYLER — Tyler police say two suspects allegedly involved in a June 28 robbery have been arrested and jailed. Police name them as Joel Correa, 22, seen on the left, and Forrest Edward Frazier, 21. Both are from Tyler. According to police spokesman Don Martin, one suspect was picked up by the sheriff’s department and the other was turned over by adult probation. The Tyler Police Department had an outstanding warrant for their arrest for robbery, a second degree felony. Bond is set at $250,000 on each man.

On June 28, police responded to the 3400 block of Cain Street in reference to an aggravated robbery of a 33- year-old Hispanic male. According to police, the two suspects had met the victim in a club earlier in the night and saw that the victim had a large amount of money in his wallet. Police say the two suspects lured the victim onto a side street where one of the suspects got out of a 2006 to 2008 gray GMC Yukon and approached the victim’s car while the other suspect stayed in the vehicle. The suspect who had gotten out of the Yukon allegedly demanded the victim’s wallet and started beating him about his head in an attempt to get his money. After taking a severe beating, police say, the victim was able to run into a wooded area to get away from the suspects.
