The Charles County Sheriff’s Office and Charles County Crime Solvers are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects involved in a recent armed robbery.
On April 6 at 12:40 p.m., Charles County Sheriff’s officers responded to the Mattawoman BP located at 2050 Crain Highway in Waldorf for the report of an armed robbery. Investigation revealed two male suspects entered the store wearing masks. One of the suspects brandished a handgun and they forced their way behind the counter. They attempted unsuccessfully to open the cash register and fled the scene. Two employees that were working fled the store and were not harmed. The suspects were seen leaving in a black Ford Explorer with tan trim.
About 20 minutes prior to the robbery, an unmasked suspect exited the same SUV and entered the store. He looked around the store and eventually bought a bottle of water and left. He is believed to have been casing the store.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspects or information regarding the vehicle is asked to call Detective J. Austin at 301-609-6504 or Charles County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS. Crime Solvers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to the suspects’ arrest or indictment.
