7-Eleven Robbed At Gunpoint Twice, Video of Suspect Released

GERMANTOWN, MD — Surveillance video of a man suspected of robbing a Germantown 7-Eleven store twice in the past year was released Wednesday by Montgomery County Police in hopes that the public might help identify the thief. (See the video at the bottom of this story.)

The first armed robbery of the 7-Eleven store in the 12800 block of Clopper Road was reported on July 23, 2022. A police news release said the suspect entered the store, pointed a handgun at the employees and demanded money. The robber removed an undisclosed amount of money from the registers and left.

About 4 a.m. on June 2, 2023, the same armed suspect walked into the same 7-Eleven store, went behind the counter, and pushed an employee to the ground. Police said the man took money from the registers and left the scene.

Detectives reviewed the surveillance cameras of the store and believe the same suspect committed both armed robberies.

The suspect is described as a Black man, 5-feet, 9-inches tall, with a slight build, armed with a handgun, about 25 years old, who wore a maroon mask, blue jeans and blue latex gloves.

Anyone with information about this suspect or the robberies is asked to contact Crimes Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect. Callers may remain anonymous.
