At 6:40 pm on Jan. 12, Charles County Sheriff’s officers responded to a residence in the 2600 block of Rooks Head Place in Waldorf for the report of an armed robbery.
Investigation revealed a boy and girl, both 16 and of Waldorf, were walking on Wakefield Circle near Amber Leaf Place when a vehicle drove past them and stopped. Four suspects then exited the vehicle. Two of the suspects brandished a handgun and demanded the boy’s jacket. The victim resisted and a struggle ensued.
