ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A 23-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon in Annapolis after being lured into a scam involving a card game.
On April 29, 2025, at approximately 12:30 p.m., officers responded to the 100 block of Jennifer Road for a reported armed robbery. The victim told police he had been approached by several unknown individuals during his lunch break and was invited to participate in a card game with the promise of winning money.
Police said the victim accompanied one of the suspects to a nearby Bank of America, where he withdrew cash before joining the game. After realizing he was being scammed, the victim tried to leave with his money, but one suspect displayed a black semi-automatic handgun and forcibly took the cash.
