ANNAPOLIS, MD—A robbery at gunpoint occurred on May 6th in the 300 block of Broad Creek Drive, leading to an ongoing investigation by the Southern District Detective Unit. The incident took place around noon when three adults—two males and one female—were accosted by two armed suspects shortly after parking their car at a residence.

The suspects, who arrived in a blue sedan, demanded the victims drop their possessions. During the confrontation, one suspect, armed with a rifle, pushed one of the male victims to the ground, causing him to drop a bag containing personal items, which the suspects then seized. Both suspects, described as young, thin Black males—one dressed in all black and the other in a white sweatshirt—fled the scene in the blue sedan driven by a third accomplice.

One victim sustained minor injuries from the altercation. Authorities are seeking information from the public to assist with the investigation. Anyone with details about this crime is urged to contact Southern District detectives at 410-222-1960 or the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line at 410-222-4700 for those preferring to remain anonymous.
