A quiet Friday evening on the Belair Road corridor did not stay quiet for long, as police rushed to a reported armed robbery at a Nottingham convenience store. Officers were called to the scene at about 8:30 p.m., but the suspect had already taken off before they arrived. Detectives stayed at the store into the night as they opened an investigation.
According to NottinghamMD, units were dispatched to the 24/7 Mart in the 9600 block of Belair Road after an armed robbery was reported, and officers learned the suspect had left before their arrival. The outlet reports the investigation was ongoing at the time of publication.
Where It Happened
State business records list a 24/7 Mart at 9617 Belair Road in the Honeygo/Nottingham area, placing the shop in the same 9600 block cited in reports. The Maryland Lottery retailer listing also shows the store at that address.
Belair Road Crime Pattern
The Belair Road corridor has seen multiple robberies and carjackings this year, a trend local outlets and crime maps have tracked. A recent report on an armed crew carjacking on the stretch highlighted growing concern, and crime mapping sites show frequent police calls on the 9600 block of Belair Road in recent weeks.
Authorities have not released further details about a suspect or any arrests, and investigators say the probe is ongoing. This story will be updated if Baltimore County Police release additional information.
