Takoma Park Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at the Check Cash Depot on University Blvd. East last Friday.
Officers were called to the 7900 block of New Hampshire Ave. around 9:07 p.m. on Friday, August 16, in response to an armed robbery that had taken place earlier at the Check Cash Depot in the 1000 block of University Blvd. East. According to police spokesperson Cathy Plevy, the victim was heading to their vehicle when they noticed the driver’s side door was open and a suspect armed with a handgun was standing nearby.
After the victim complied with the suspect’s demands for their belongings, the suspect fled in a vehicle driven by a second suspect and headed toward Prince George’s County, Plevy said.
The suspects are described as two Black males, one wearing all black clothing and armed with a black handgun and the other driving a black 4-door sedan. Lookout information was shared with all surrounding jurisdictions, and the investigation is still ongoing.
