The Concord Police Department announced the arrest of two men in connection with a May 12 armed robbery at Round 1 at the Sun Valley Mall in Concord.
According to Police, officers responded to Round 1 for an armed robbery in progress. Two masked men forced two employees into a locked cash room at gunpoint where the employees’ hands were zip tied behind their backs and cash was stolen. One of the employees was able to free herself and called for help. Numerous officers responded, cleared the business and found the suspects had fled.
Police say it was determined the suspects gained access through a normally secured employee entrance.
Detectives have worked on this case for the past two months and say they uncovered a conspiracy involving Round 1 security guard Gary Dillahunty, who was working the night of and facilitated the robbery. Detectives also identified 37 year old Vincent Timmons as one of the suspects who committed the robbery.
Last week a search warrant was served at Timmons’ home in San Francisco. Evidence linking Timmons to the Round 1 robbery as well as an illegal assault weapon, a hand gun, and a large quantity of cocaine was found. Timmons, who is on parole for kidnapping, was located at the home and arrested for robbery.
On Tuesday, with the assistance of the United States Marshals, 43 year old Gary Dillahunty, who is on parole for assault with a deadly weapon, was located at a home in Vacaville. He was arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant for the Round 1 robbery as well as a warrant for violating his parole.
The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office has charged both men with multiple felonies including robbery, conspiracy, and kidnapping. They both remain in custody at the Contra Costa County Jail.
The investigation into others involved with this robbery, including the second masked suspect continues.
The security guards working at Round 1 at the time of this robbery were employed by an outside security contractor. This information is being shared with the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, a regulator of the private security industry.

This is another example of STUPID CRIMINALS!
Wow,Round 1 did it’s due diligence when contracting they’re security force huh? As well as the security company that hired a parolee to be a SECURITY guard, c’mon people cheapest isn’t necessarily the best. As for the security company, they should lose they’re license. Not just a fine,as they probably knew this guy was on parole but figured who else is gonna do this for minimum wage.
Real talk how in the hell is a parolee convicted of assault with a deadly weapon working as security for an establishment like round 1
Two more thugs who shouldn’t have been released early. Hey democrats, notice a pattern developing here? Get ready for a huge increase in the crime rate.
Crime has already increased and, yes, it will increase even more thanks to the IDIOTS (voters) who passed Pro. 47 and 57. Those idiot voters will be the first to complain when their properties are destroyed.
