January 12, 2017

Charles County Crime Solvers is offering a cash reward for information leading to the identity and arrest of a suspect wanted in connection with a citizen robbery that occurred outside of a drug store located at the corner of Leonardtown Road and St. Charles Parkway.

On January 11, 2017, at approximately 2:15 p.m., the victim, a 72-year-old man, was walking near the side of the store when he was approached by a male who asked for money. The victim agreed to help the man and pulled out his wallet. But the suspect grabbed the wallet, assaulted the man and fled on foot.

Officers canvassed the area and a K9 team conducted a track. A review of security cameras revealed the suspect never entered the store.
