Four people are now in custody after an armed robbery at Smoke Art, 2440 Eldorado Parkway in Frisco, a case police are treating as an aggravated robbery. According to officers, the store owner said masked suspects pointed a firearm at him before taking off to the west in a blue Dodge pickup. Two adults were booked, identified as 19-year-old Jaylen Lewis and 18-year-old Maurice Lee, while two others were identified as juveniles and detained as part of the investigation.
As detailed by the Frisco Police Department yesterday, officers were dispatched to Smoke Art last Tuesday and quickly entered the suspect vehicle information into the Flock Safety system. The department says a Flock search kicked back a matching license plate and relayed that information to nearby agencies, which narrowed the search. Little Elm police then found the pickup and conducted what investigators called a high-risk traffic stop, detaining everyone inside without further incident.

How Plate-Reading Tech and Teamwork Sealed the Case
Frisco officials have described the rollout of Flock license-plate reading cameras as a “technological game changer” for working with neighboring departments, according to the City of Frisco. City materials say the cameras capture rear images and plates, are not used for traffic enforcement, and only keep data for a limited time. In this case, that setup turned a quick description of a blue Dodge into a plate match and a concrete lead that Little Elm detectives could move on.
Arrests, Identities and What Comes Next
Frisco police say four people were arrested in connection with the aggravated robbery and that the investigation is still active, per the department’s X post. The two adults were identified as Jaylen Lewis, 19, and Maurice Lee, 18, while the two juveniles will move through the juvenile justice process. Authorities thanked residents and partner agencies for their cooperation and asked anyone with additional details to reach out.
Investigators note that the probe remains ongoing and that more information could be released as it develops. Anyone with tips is urged to contact the Frisco Police non-emergency line or submit a Tip411 report; contact information is listed by the City of Frisco.
