GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects involved in an armed carjacking that occurred early Monday morning at an Exxon gas station on New Hampshire Avenue.
Police said the incident took place at approximately 2:50 a.m. on June 30, when a victim was sitting inside their black Honda Accord at the gas pumps in the 10200 block of New Hampshire Avenue.
A dark-colored SUV pulled into the lot and stopped in front of the victim’s car, blocking it from leaving. Two suspects exited the SUV, and one of them displayed a black handgun while ordering the victim out of the vehicle.
