Montgomery County Police Department detectives released surveillance footage depicting two armed robberies of a 7-Eleven convenience store, perpetrated by the same individual.
1st District officers responded to a reported armed robbery at the 1200 block of Parklawn Drive in Rockville on Oct. 17 at approximately 12:40 p.m. An investigation revealed the suspect entered the business and demanded money from the employee behind the counter while displaying a silver handgun concealed in the suspect’s waistband. The suspect removed cash from the register and demanded other items, which the employee complied with. The suspect then exited the store and fled on foot.
A week later on Oct. 25 at approximately 5:25 a.m., the same suspect returned to the 7-Eleven store and demanded money from the employee working behind the counter. The suspect again displayed a silver handgun tucked in his waistband and demanded money and other goods from the employee. The employee complied, and the suspect fled the scene on foot with the stolen items.
Detectives believe the same suspect committed both robberies, and asks anyone with information regarding him to contact the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.
