The Charles County Sheriffโ€™s Office needs the publicโ€™s assistance in identifying two suspects in connection with an armed robbery. On Dec. 10 at 2:41 p.m., officers responded to the St. Charles Quick Shop, at 3030 St. Charles Parkway in Waldorf, for a hold-up alarm. When officers arrived, an employee reported two men just robbed the store and fled.

Investigation revealed the suspects entered the business, displayed a handgun, announced a robbery and stole money, lottery tickets and a charitable donation jar. Officers canvassed the area and a K-9 track led to a nearby neighborhood but the suspects were not located.

Detectives say the best lead in the case may come from photographs captured on a store surveillance camera. Both suspects are black males. The suspect pictured behind the counter – next to the store employee – is described as being very tall, at least 6 feet 5 inches tall, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask. The other suspect is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a mask and gloves.

Anyone with information about the identity of the suspects is asked to call Detective K. Keelan at (301) 609-6509. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
