Wawa Armed Robbery Doesn't Go As Planned

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A man with a handgun tried to hold up the Wawa store at 628 Admiral Drive in Annapolis early Friday morning, but failed. Anne Arundel County Police say the would-be robbery happened about 3 a.m.

The store clerk told police that a man entered the store, showed the clerk that he had a handgun, and demanded money. But the clerk did not turn over any money and the hapless robber fled on foot.

Officers and a K-9 unit searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspect. Police say the clerk was not injured.

The robbery suspect is described as a black man, 6’0”, 150 pounds, in his early 20s. He was wearing a black ski mask and dark clothing.
