Florida criminals Arkimase Divinard and Joel Aime arrested after Amazon driver robbery

Two career criminals are back behind bars after robbing a delivery driver at gunpoint earlier this month.

On Wednesday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office released terrifying dashcam video of two men robbing an Amazon driver at gunpoint in broad daylight on Jan. 13. 

In the video, one man is seen holding a gun to the worker’s neck before going into the back of the truck to steal packages. The other man is outside the truck for most of the video, but he pops inside the driver’s side door when his partner goes into the back to take the packages.

The men were later identified as Arkimase Divinard, 22, and Joel Junior Aime, 23.

The sheriff’s office said the Amazon driver was not hurt during the crime.

Divinard and Aime, who both have long criminal histories, share 85 felony charges and 11 felony convictions between the two of them.

According to Florida jail records, Divinard was most recently sentenced to three years in prison for carjacking without a firearm/deadly weapon. He was released in November 2022. His prior convictions include battery on a person above the age of 65 and robbery without a deadly weapon.

There were no records available in the Florida Department of Corrections database under the name Joel Junior Aime.

“We hope they will stay locked up for a long, long time,” OCSO wrote on social media.

According to Fox 35 Orlando, a witness flagged down deputies after watching the robbery near the Caden Apartments at 1953 Americana Blvd.

The outlet reported that the Amazon driver told deputies he noticed a Black male standing near the driver’s side of the truck after completing a delivery. When the driver got inside the truck, a second Black male entered the van’s cargo area and demanded the driver give up his belongings while pointing a gun at him.

The second man, who is seen mostly in the video, took the driver’s cell phone and debit cards, and he searched the driver’s pockets for more items. Ten packages were also stolen from the truck.

Both men fled the scene in a white van. After he was identified in the dashcam footage, Aime was later seen in a white Honda van and was arrested.

Divinard was identified by his tattoos. The delivery driver also provided deputies with a screenshot of the Find My iPhone app, which revealed the location of his stolen phone as Divinard’s home address.

Both men have been arrested and are charged with robbery with a firearm, according to the sheriff’s office.

California Brink’s truck holdup leaves 1 dead, 2 wounded

OAKLAND, Calif. — An attempted robbery of an armored car in Oakland on Friday left one person dead and two others injured, including a Brink’s employee, police said.

Reports of a shooting sent officers to a parking lot outside an auto parts store at about 2 p.m., where they found two people with gunshot wounds, police said.

One died at the scene and the other, a Brink’s employee, was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said.

A third person — an innocent bystander who was struck by gunfire — went separately to a hospital, police said.

Witnesses told KTVU-TV that they heard as many as 20 gunshots.

Authorities said a white car with several people inside was involved in the shooting.

“We are looking for information and video related to that vehicle and to those individuals in that vehicle. We’re trying to identify them as well,” Armstrong said.

He said the FBI is involved in the investigation.

The incident occurred outside an auto parts store on Friday afternoon in Oakland.

Brink’s told KPIX-TV that the company was working with law enforcement and didn’t have any information to share.

It was the sixth deadly shooting in Oakland this week and the 92nd homicide of the year. Armstrong asked the public to come forward with information to help solve the recent killings.

“We also ask the community to continue to get rid of the guns that continue to plague our community,” the chief said.

French bulldogs have gotten increasing popular in recent years, with the breed being the second most favored in the United States — and the top choice in New York City — in 2020, according to the American Kennel Club.

Earlier this month, the NYPD released footage of a brazen attempted robbery of another Frenchie. As the owner was walking into a Financial District office building with the French bulldog, a suspect is seen on video trying to scoop up the pooch. The owner was able to fend the thief off.

Anyone with information on the Suffolk robbery is asked to call the Seventh Squad at 631-852-8752 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
