Reward Offered For Smoke And Glass Shop Robber On Belair Road

FALLSTON, MD — Authorities are trying to find a man who said he had a gun, then robbed a smoke shop in Fallston recently. There is a cash reward for information in the case.

The robbery happened at 8:47 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office, which shared a photo of the suspect this week.

After walking into the Smoke and Glass Shop in the 1600 block of Belair Road, authorities said the suspect announced he had a gun, took four bags of Kratom and left.
