22-year-old Augustine Koroma of Lanham
UPDATE 4/9/2024: The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Robbery Unit identified and charged the suspect wanted in connection with a residential robbery at an apartment in Lanham. The suspect is 22-year-old Augustine Koroma of Lanham.
Koroma is charged with a residential robbery at a home in the 9900 block of Good Luck Road which occurred on April 8, 2024. In that case, the suspect broke into the victims’ apartment at approximately 5:00 am.
Once inside, he implied he had a gun and demanded the victims’ property. In fear for their lives, they complied. He then fled the home.
Through various investigative techniques, Robbery Unit detectives identified Koroma. The Fugitive Unit located and arrested him late Monday night on an unrelated warrant for second degree assault.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for Koroma’s residence. Items of evidence connected to the residential robbery on April 8, 2024, were located inside.
Investigators believe two additional residential robberies and a breaking and entering at three apartment complexes on Good Luck Road between April 4-8 are connected. Additional charges against Koroma are expected.
