Frederick, MD — A man accused of robbing a woman as she withdrew cash from an ATM in Frederick has been arrested after investigators used surveillance footage and follow-up investigative work to identify the suspect. The arrest comes nearly two weeks after the robbery occurred on West Seventh Street.

Arnold Franklin Moyd Jr., 44, was taken into custody on May 25 in connection with the May 13 robbery in the 1300 block of W. Seventh Street, according to the Frederick Police Department.

Police said the victim was withdrawing money from an ATM when a suspect approached her, demanded cash, forcibly took money, and fled the area.

Investigation Leads to Suspect Identification

Following the robbery, Frederick Police Department patrol officers and investigators launched an investigation to identify the person responsible.

Authorities reviewed surveillance footage, collected evidence, and conducted additional follow-up work that ultimately led detectives to identify Moyd as the suspect.

The investigation progressed over the following days as officers worked to track down the accused robber.

Key Points

• A woman reported being robbed while withdrawing money from an ATM in Frederick on May 13.
• Investigators used surveillance footage and evidence collection to identify a suspect.
• Arnold Franklin Moyd Jr. was arrested on May 25 in connection with the case.

Arrest Made After Follow-Up Investigation

According to the Frederick Police Department, officers located and arrested Moyd on May 25.

Police did not release additional details regarding where the arrest occurred or what specific charges were filed following his apprehension.

The case highlights the role surveillance footage can play in identifying suspects involved in crimes occurring in public spaces, particularly around financial institutions and ATMs.

Investigators credited a combination of evidence gathering and persistent follow-up efforts for helping bring the investigation to a conclusion.

Police Praise Officers’ Efforts

The Frederick Police Department publicly recognized the work of the patrol officers and investigators involved in the case.

“We are proud of the dedication and persistence shown by the officers involved,” the department said in a statement announcing the arrest.

“Their commitment to thorough investigative work helped bring this case to a successful resolution and reinforces our ongoing mission to keep Frederick safe.”

Robbery Occurred During ATM Transaction

Authorities have not disclosed the amount of money stolen during the robbery or whether the victim suffered any injuries during the encounter.

The Frederick Police Department said the investigation resulted in Moyd’s identification and arrest, bringing the case to a resolution less than two weeks after the reported robbery.
