HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Maryland State Police are searching for three suspects involved in an early-morning armed robbery in Washington County. The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, when troopers from the Hagerstown Barrack responded to reports of a robbery at a convenience store on Lager Drive.

According to police, a male suspect, described as a white man in his mid-to-late 30s, entered the store and threatened the manager with a knife before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash. Authorities noted that no injuries were reported during the robbery.

Preliminary details indicate that two additional suspects were involved in the incident. A female suspect, described as a white woman, was last seen wearing a black jacket and gray sweatpants. An unidentified third suspect was reportedly driving a white ML-series Mercedes, which all three individuals used to escape.

Maryland State Police are urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist in locating the suspects. “We are seeking the public’s assistance in helping to locate three suspects involved in an armed robbery early this morning in Washington County,” the department stated in an online post.

The investigation remains ongoing, with police actively pursuing leads to identify and apprehend the suspects. Further updates are expected as additional information becomes available.
