Mechanicsville 7-11 Bandit Eludes Police


LEONARDTOWN, Md. (Nov. 18, 2008)—A lone robber entered the 7-11 store in Mechanicsville Tuesday morning around 2:15 a.m. and made off with an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect managed to elude police, including K-9 units and officers searching from the MSP Trooper 2 helicopter.

St. Mary's County Sheriff and Maryland State Police patrol officers were assisted by MSP helicopter Trooper 2 as well as Charles and Calvert County Sheriff's office K-9 Units in a search of the area. The suspect was not located.

Police describe the suspect as a white male, approximately 5'5" tall and 150 pounds.
