THEFT OF ATV: On Aug. 30 at 10:30 a.m., a child sized ATV was stolen from Scooter Express in the 11800 block of Park Road in Waldorf. An employee stated two males entered the store and one began talking with him and the other walked outside. A short time later, the man inside the store left without making a purchase.

BURGLARY: On Aug. 29 at 11:48 a.m., officers responded to the 10800 block of Parchment Court in Waldorf for the report of a burglary that just occurred. Investigation showed the homeowner was at his residence when he heard a knock at the door. He looked outside and saw a man he did not recognize at the door. He did not answer and the man walked away. Moments later, the man pulled up in a silver, four door passenger car and he and another man got out and knocked on the door. The homeowner still didn't answer. The men walked to the rear of the house, kicked in the basement door and made entry. They quickly fled, possibly when they heard the homeowner inside. One suspect was a black male, 20's, and wore his hair in a pony tail. He had tattoos on his right hand and was wearing a black shirt and jeans. The other suspect was a black male, possibly in his 30's, balding, and was wearing black dress pants and a red or pink-striped long-sleeved shirt.

DETECTIVES SEEK IDENTITY OF SUSPECT IN BRYANTOWN STORE ROBBERIES: Charles County Sheriff's detectives are seeking the identity of a man who may be responsible for at least two robberies and a theft at the Bryantown Store in the 6400 block of Leonardtown Road in Bryantown. Crime Solvers is offering a cash reward for the suspect’s identity.
The most recent robbery occurred on Aug. 9 at 10:03 p.m., when the suspect entered the store, showed a gun and demanded money. The same man is believed to be involved in a theft that occurred on Jan. 1 in which he stole cash from an open register and a robbery that occurred last October in which he pulled a gun and demanded cash from an employee.
In all three cases, the suspect was wearing dark clothing. He is possibly in his twenties, between 5’5” to 5’9”, with a small to medium build. After each event, he fled toward Oliver Shop Road and detectives believe he may have ties to that area.
