On November 19 at approximately 11:21 p.m. units from the Calvert
County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the BP Gas Station and Shop, located
on Md. Route 260 just prior to Md. Route 4 in Dunkirk, for the report of an
attempted robbery.
Upon arrival units learned that two suspects who appear to male,
attempted to gain entry into the store, which was open for business. Suspect
number one is described as a 5’7” to 5’9” male, dressed in a Santa suit with a
full wig and beard. Suspect number two
is described as a 5’11” to 6’01” male wearing all black or dark clothing,
including a mask, and is armed with what appears to be an AK-47 style assault
rifle. It is unknown if the firearm is
real or a replica style toy. As the
suspects approached the door, the suspect dressed in Santa attire attempted to
open it but was unable to do so because it was locked. The suspects then fled
on foot.
Det. H. Rich of the Criminal Investigations Bureau was on the scene and
has assumed the investigation. Anyone
with information is asked to contact Det. Rich at 410-535-1600 extension 2765.
