Two people taken into custody after standoff at Extended Stay in Durham

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Two people were taken into custody after a search warrant was served at an Extended Stay in Durham Wednesday morning.

Around 9 a.m., officers located a vehicle at the Extended Stay at 3105 Tower Boulevard that they believed has been involved in a crime.

Officers attempted to serve a search warrant at one of the rooms, but the people inside did not come to the door.

After some negotiation, the two residents were taken into custody.

Daniel Rolando Platt, 24, and 30-year-old Brandy Nunn were taken into custody without incident.

Platt was charged with committing three armed robberies within the past six days:

Investigators charged Platt in connection with the following armed robberies:

• May 3 at 4:45 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of Leon Street. A woman was getting out of her car when a man got out of a black SUV, pointed a gun at her chest and grabbed her purse.
• May 5 at 1:50 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 700 Morreene Road. A man was working on his car when a man jumped out of a black SUV, placed a gun against the victim's torso and took his wallet and cash.
• May 7 at 1 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 4230 Garrett Road. A woman was getting some items out of her car when a man pulled up beside her, pointed a gun at her and took her purse.

On Wednesday, investigators recovered two guns and items belonging to the robbery victims. One gun had been reported stolen in Durham County.

Platt has been charged with three counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of felony conspiracy, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was placed in Durham County Jail without bond.
