Delivery Driver Robbed At Gunpoint In Annapolis Shopping Center: Police

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A UPS delivery driver was robbed at gunpoint this week in an Annapolis shopping center, county police announced.

A press release said two males wearing dark clothing, masks and gloves approached the driver after he finished a delivery in the Festival at Riva retail plaza.

One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the driver and forced him onto the floor of the truck, officers said. Authorities accused the suspects of entering the back cargo area and stealing several boxes.

The suspects then drove away in a dark-colored sedan toward Riva Road, police said. The encounter happened Wednesday around 11:20 a.m. in the 2300 block of Forest Drive. That's in the neighborhood of Parole, which is located in the county just outside the limits of the City of Annapolis.

One suspect is 25 to 30 years old with a thin build, officers said. That suspect is black and stands about 5 feet, 10 inches tall.

Authorities don't know the age or the race of the other suspect, but they said he has a medium build and is about 5 feet, 11 inches tall.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department asked anybody with information to call (410) 222-4720. Tipsters can stay anonymous by dialing (410) 222-4700.
