Prince George's County police have released surveillance photos of three men they say are behind a violent early-morning robbery that left a convenience store employee critically injured in Fort Washington. The attack, according to investigators, happened around 1:50 a.m. on March 7 in the 7000 block of Allentown Road. No arrests have been announced, and detectives are turning to the public to help put names to the faces in the images.
As reported by FOX 5 DC, investigators say three male suspects entered the business and one of them stabbed the employee during the holdup, leaving the worker in critical condition. Police released stills from the store's surveillance cameras in hopes that someone recognizes the men and can help move the case forward.
How police want the public to help
According to Shore News Network, community members who think they recognize the suspects are urged to contact the Robbery Section at 301-516-2830. Tipsters can also remain anonymous by reaching out to Prince George’s County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS. Police are also asking anyone who was in the area around the time of the robbery to review home, business or dash-cam footage and share anything that might help detectives.
What investigators say about the case
Investigators say the three suspects took off before officers arrived and that, based on what they know so far, the incident appears to have been a robbery rather than a targeted attack, according to FOX 5 DC. Police have not released the employee's name and say detectives are continuing to review surveillance footage and track down tips as they work to identify and locate the suspects.
