Suspect Arrested In Armed Robberies At Apartments: Prince George's Police

LANHAM, MD — The suspect wanted in connection to a residential robbery at an apartment in Lanham has been arrested, police say.

Augustine Koroma, 22, of Lanham has been charged in connection to a residential robbery at a home in the 9900 block of Good Luck Road that happened April 8. In that case, the suspect broke into the victims’ apartment at approximately 5 a.m. He told the residents he had a gun and demanded they give him their property. They complied and then Koroma took off, according to Prince George's Police.

Detectives identified Koroma and arrested him Monday night on an unrelated warrant for second-degree assault. After obtaining a search warrant and combing through his home, they found evidence that police said linked him to the April 8 residential robbery.

Investigators believe two other residential robberies and a breaking and entering at three apartment complexes on Good Luck Road between April 4-8 are connected to Koroma. Police initially asked for the community's help in identifying the suspect wanted for breaking into four apartments in complexes located along Good Luck Road in the Lanham area. A cash reward of up to $2,500 was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the case, police said.

The Prince George’s County Police Department had added additional patrols along Good Luck Road in the meantime, as a precaution.

According to the Prince George's Police, Koroma can be linked to the following incidents:

• Residential armed robbery (weapon implied): 9900 block of Good Luck Road - April 8 at 5 a.m.
• Residential armed robbery: 9800 Good Luck Road - April 7 at 5:50 a.m.
• Residential armed robbery (attempt): 9800 Good Luck Road - April 6 at 6:55 a.m.
• Breaking and entering: 9800 Good Luck Road - April 4 at 9 a.m.

The preliminary investigation indicates that in each of these cases, the suspect entered the apartments through an unlocked window or door. Anyone with additional information about this case who would like to speak with a detective can call 301-516-2830.
