Two employees, a driver and a courier for the Dunbar Armored Truck Company, had arrived at the Bank of America located in the 10100 block of Colesville Road and parked their vehicle on Timberwood Avenue, adjacent to the bank. The driver remained in the truck while the courier made a delivery. As the courier returned to the truck after making the delivery, he was confronted by a male suspect armed with a gun. The driver of the vehicle saw the suspect force the courier to the ground and drove away. The suspect took the courier’s gun and fled from the scene without gaining any currency.

The driver notified his dispatcher at Dunbar of the armed robbery. The courier ran back to the bank and was trying to contact police when he saw two men near a CVS store in the 10100 block of Colesville Road. He told them he had been robbed and to call 911. The two men went back inside the CVS and asked employees to call 911. It was later learned that the two men who assisted the courier were also involved in shoplifting at that CVS store. Those two suspects left the area in a black Dodge Neon, which was originally thought to be linked to the armed robbery. It is now known that the car and those two suspects were not related to the armed robbery of the armored truck.

The suspect, who remains at large, is described as a black male 28 to 34 years of age, approximately 5’9” tall and weighing approximately 175 pounds. He was wearing a light blue, short-sleeve, button-down shirt and dark blue shorts, resembling a postal uniform.
