Parkville Royal Farms Robbed At Gunpoint

No one was hurt Tuesday night in an armed robbery of a Parkville Royal Farms store that netted two men cash and cigarettes.

A female employee was taking out the store's trash around 11:45 p.m. when she noticed a suspicious man who walked onto the store parking lot, located in the 8200 block of Harford Road, from across Harford Road, according to the Baltimore County Police.

Shortly after the employee got back inside a man wearing a ski mask entered the store and, as the employee was going to ask him to remove the mask, he pulled out a silver revolver handgun. The robber ordered the three employees behind the counter and demanded cash and cigarettes, according to police.

The employees complied and the man left through the front door.

A surveillance tape shows a second man outside the store. Police said they believe that man acted as a lookout and getaway driver.

The gunman is described as a black male between 30 and 40 years old, approximately 6 feet tall and 180 pounds with a medium build and brown eyes. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a white hat, a ski mask, eyeglasses, a black sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white shoes, according to police.

The second suspect, who police say was acting as a lookout, is described as a black male between 30 and 40 years old, approximately 5'11" tall and 170 pounds with a thin build and a short afro hairstyle. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a black jacket, black jeans and black shoes, according to police.
