HANOVER, MD – On last Sunday, at around 5:30 a.m., Western District officers attended to a strong-arm robbery on the 2600 block of Annapolis Road. Two individuals, aged 18 and 24, were assaulted and robbed by a group of three men, identified as wearing white t-shirts.

The suspects, who made comments biased against the victims’ sexual orientation, fled the scene in a four-door dark-colored sedan. No weapons were displayed during this incident, and both victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

One victim was later taken to a local hospital. Western District detectives asked anyone with information to reach out at 410-222-6155 or use the Tip Line at 410-222-4700.
