Detectives were able to identify Koroma as the suspect in the robbery and the Fugitive Unit was able to arrest him late Monday night on an unrelated warrant for second-degree assault.

Investigators then obtained a search warrant for Koroma’s residence where they found Items of evidence connected to the April 8 robbery.

Police believe Koroma was involved in at least three other break-ins at apartments in the 9800 block of Good Luck Road.

Around 5:50 a.m. on April 7, detectives say a suspect entered a home and stole items.

Additional charges against him are expected. The investigation is ongoing.
