January 29:

4100 block of 31st Street: At about 12:30 am officers responded for the report of an attempted citizen armed robbery. The officers met with the victim who told them that a black male attempted to rob him on his property. The victim said that he had just pulled into his driveway and was getting out of his vehicle when he saw three black males exiting a vehicle directly across the street. The victim began walking towards the back of the house when one of the males walked across his lawn, approached him and demanded his money. The victim and his assailant began tussling during which the suspect struck him with a butt of a handgun. At this point the victim began yelling for help and the three males ran to the vehicle and fled down 31st street toward Queens Chapel Road. The victim suffered minor injuries to the left side of his face and to his neck but refused medical attention. He told the officers that nothing was taken from his person or vehicle, and, that because his glasses were knocked off during the scuffle he could not give a detailed description of the suspects or their vehicle. Multiple canvasses for the suspects and their vehicle were conducted throughout the area with negative results. PGPD robbery detectives were notified of the incident and will be conducting a follow-up investigation.

The victim reported that he was visiting a friend and when he went to leave his friend’s residence and walk to his vehicle he was approached by two black males wearing ski masks and armed with handguns.

During their investigation of the incident the officers recovered what are believed to be 10 stolen pre-paid credit/debit cards from the victim’s vehicle. The victim apparently got these cards and withdrew several thousands of dollars out of various ATM machines.

Crime Prevention Tip: Car Alarms

I received this earlier today courtesy of CPL Jim Flynn of the Bladensburg Police Department: For those of you who have a vehicle that has a remote entry device, you may also have a handy burglar/emergency alarm that you probably don’t think about. Most of these remote entry devices have a panic button that activates your vehicle’s security alarm system. Test it.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone tries to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, within a few se...
