Robber Climbed In Drive-Through Window At Towson McDonald's: Police

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD - Three robbery cases at businesses in Towson and Parkville this week are attributed to the same suspect, police say. In two of the incidents, the suspect tried to rob McDonald's by getting in via the drive-through window.

In one case, the suspect shook open a drive-through McDonald's window in the 6800 block of Loch Raven Boulevard. The suspect pointed a gun at an employee, climbed through the window and took money from the safe. Police said the armed robbery was reported at 4:06 a.m. on Sunday, July 23.

According to investigators, the same person was behind two other attempted robberies.

Another McDonald's 1.5 miles away was the target of a robbery attempt at 4:03 a.m. on Sunday, July 23. The suspect was armed and tried to open a drive-through window, police said, but left as an employee was calling 911. The attempted robbery occurred in the 7300 block of McClean Boulevard.

In the other attempt, the suspect tried to get into a locked business and left when employees refused to open the door, according to police. Police said that an armed person unsuccessfully tried to rob the 7-Eleven in the 1300 block of Taylor Avenue at 4:15 a.m. on Sunday, July 23.

The crimes were "believed to have been committed by the same suspect," police said in a statement.
