Police Release Flyer Giving Gas Station Robbery Details

Authorities on Friday released a flyer of the alleged suspect who committed an army robbery at the Shell Station located at 1026 Middleton Lane on Thursday.

The flyer, created from the gas station surveillance video, shows the alleged suspect apparently taking money from the cash register. An undisclosed amount of cash was stolen at gunpoint during the robbery, police said.

“The suspect was dropped off and picked up by an unknown individual,” the flyer released by Lt. Fred Budnick states. “The vehicle was champagne in color.”

Police said the vehicle used was similar to a 2010 Kia Sportage pictured on the flyer.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. a black male wearing black jeans, a black shirt, black cap and sunglasses entered the store and demanded money, Police Spokesman Lt. Fred Budnick has said.

The suspect “displayed a handgun and announced a robbery,” Budnick said.

“The handgun displayed appeared to be a black revolver,” the flyer states.

Budnick said Thursday that the suspect fled on foot after taking an undisclosed amount of cash. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office and a K-9 unit from the Mayland State Police assisted. But the suspect escaped, police have said.

“No one was injured during the incident,” Budnick said.
