Janesville Police Arrest Armed Robbery Suspect

On 11/20/2021 at 6:48 PM, Janesville Police were dispatched to a report that a male had attempted to rob the Virks liquor store at 2807 W Court St after displaying a metal pipe to the clerk and demanding money.  The clerk provided a description of the suspect vehicle.
 
While other officers responded to investigate the robbery, Officer Jon Williams began checking other businesses.  When he passed the Exxon gas station at 1445 Center Ave, he observed a vehicle matching the suspect description in the lot.  As he pulled into the lot to investigate, he observed a male run from the store and jump in the passenger door yelling for the driver to go.  Officer Williams observed the clerk waving their arms as though they had just been another victim. 
 
Officer Williams initiated a vehicle pursuit of the suspect that traveled south on Highway 51 into the City of Beloit.  After several unsuccessful attempts, a Beloit Police Officer successfully deflated the suspect vehicle’s tires with a tire deflation device.  The vehicle came to a stop on Highway 51 just north of Henry Ave. 
 
Janesville Police, with assistance from Beloit Police and the Rock County Sheriff’s Office began the process of ordering the occupants out of the vehicle.  The suspect in the passenger side yelled that he had a gun.  He then exited the vehicle in a rapid manor holding a metal pipe as though it were a shotgun making a “racking” motion with his hands and pointing at officers at the scene.  The officers were able to recognize that the item was not a firearm and did not fire.  A taser was deployed and the suspect was taken into custody.  The driver was also arrested.
 
The investigation identified the passenger as 47yo Benito M Del Bosque who was also a suspect in an armed robbery from 11/13/2021 at the Citgo gas station 1002 S Jackson St.  The driver was identified as 25-year-old Emily A Revel.
