Leesport man arrested in robbery
On June 24 at approximately 12:30 p.m., a 19 year old male victim, of Fleetwood, reported that just after cashing his paycheck, he was ordered into a vehicle in Fleetwood, by Eugenio Avilez, 21, of Leesport. While inside the vehicle, Avilez is said to have demanded the victim’s wallet under the threat of having his “squad” physically beat the victim if he did not comply.

Avilez was taken into custody without incident in the vicinity of his Leesport Borough residence by members of the Northern Berks Regional and Bern Township Police.
Avilez was transferred to the custody of the Fleetwood Police for processing before being released to the custody of Berks County Sheriff’s Department at the Central Processing Center to await preliminary arraignment.
