A $10,000 reward is being offered for tips that lead to the arrest of three suspects who robbed a Bethesda man as he was walking his dog.

On Monday, Montgomery County Police detectives released video footage of the three suspects and are asking for the public’s help to identify them.

The robbery took place about 6:15 p.m. on Feb. 26 as the 58-year-old victim was walking his dog on Linden Avenue in the area of Pooks Hill Road. Two black males approached the victim, assaulted him, and stole his wallet and phone, police say.

The suspects then left the area in a black sedan. It is possible that a third suspect was the getaway driver and stayed in the vehicle during the robbery.

The victim was treated for multiple cuts and bruises by Fire&Rescue personnel at the scene of the robbery.

Investigators say the victim’s stolen credit cards were used in Largo and Greenbelt to purchase merchandise. Video surveillance from these stores captured three suspects.

Anyone with information about these suspects is asked to call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). Crime Solvers is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for any information that leads to the arrest of these suspects. Callers will remain anonymous.
