STRONG-ARM ROBBERY ARREST

On January 15, 2026, Bensalem Township Police responded to Smart Choice Pharmacy, located at 1941 Street Road, for a report of a strong-arm robbery. The investigation revealed that three suspects assaulted a delivery driver who was dropping off medication. The suspects stole two boxes containing the medications Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Trulicity, valued at approximately $16,000.

The suspects fled the area in a gold-colored Toyota, nearly striking a nearby witness who was attempting to record the incident. After receiving the flash for the suspects’ vehicle from the Bucks County 911 Dispatchers, Bensalem Township Police located the vehicle in the 3600 block of Street Road and conducted a traffic stop. The suspects, 41-year-old Joshua Dupree from Tamaqua, PA, 21-year-old Jahnoi Dawkins from Albany, NY, and a 17-year-old male from New York City, were positively identified by the victim and taken into custody. A subsequent search of the vehicle yielded the stolen items taken during the robbery.

Further investigation revealed that the suspects, Dupree, Dawkins, and the juvenile male, had traveled from New York to commit the crime. Pharmacy staff reported that they had received suspicious phone calls and emails in the days leading up to the incident requesting information about the delivery order. Dupree, Dawkins, and the juvenile male were all charged with Robbery, Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, Simple Assault, and related offenses.

Dupree and Dawkins were arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Michael Gallagher, who set Dupree’s bail at 10 percent of $150,000 and Dawkins' bail at 10 percent of $250,000. Both were remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility. The juvenile male was remanded to Bucks County Youth Detention Center.

We would like to commend the quick actions of the patrol officers for spotting the vehicle and taking the suspects into custody before they were able to leave the area to commit similar crimes elsewhere.
