GLEN BURNIE, MD — A Glen Burnie man is in jail on charges that he robbed four 7-Eleven and Pizza Boli's stores in Glen Burnie and Millersville at gunpoint in the past month. Anne Arundel County Police have charged Michael Sean Manuel, 23, of the 7900 block of Silent Winds Court in Glen Burnie, with numerous armed robbery, assault, and handgun/firearms offenses related to four robberies.

Authorities say Manuel may also be involved in other robberies in Anne Arundel County and surrounding jurisdictions. In two of the armed robberies, a woman reportedly helped him, and detectives are trying to identify the second suspect and anyone else who may have been involved in the holdups.
