BROOKLYN PARK, MD – Two suspects were arrested Friday evening after officers tracked a stolen vehicle and recovered drugs, cash, and a key fob programming device, police said.
The incident unfolded around 4:45 p.m. on Nov. 28 when the Automated License Plate Reader System alerted Anne Arundel County officers to a stolen black 2021 Acura IIX in the area of Church Street and Disney Avenue.
When police arrived, the vehicle was unoccupied. Moments later, three males exited a nearby convenience store, and one used a remote key fob to unlock the car.
As officers approached, all three suspects ran.
