Armed Robbery Report

Our friends at the East Rockville Civic Association >have passed along word of an armed robbery earlier this week in the 1700 block of Crawford drive.

From the police:

June 2, 2009 — At approximately 1900 hours this date Rockville City Police units responded to the 1700 block of Crawford Drive for the report of an armed robbery of a citizen.

Once on the scene the victim advised responding officers that a black male, approximately 20 years of age, with a thin goatee, entered the residence via an unlocked front screen door. The suspect confronted the victim, born in 1932, and said he knew the victim owned a .38 revolver. The victim denied owning a gun and was struck in the head with a black semi-automatic handgun which the suspect had with him.

The suspect then demanded the victim take him to his bedroom where he believed the victim kept the gun. The victim repeatedly denied owning a gun and was struck at least two additional times. Once in the bedroom the suspect made the victim open a safe. There was nothing in the safe. At this time the suspect demanded money and obtained the victim’s wallet. The suspect left the residence through the front door where he dropped the wallet. Nothing was missing from the wallet. The suspect then ran through the backyard.

A K-9 track was conducted but was lost in the area of Rockcrest Park due to the number of people in the area. The victim has a small bump on the head and was not seriously injured. Investigation is being handled by RCPD Investigators.
