PRESS RELEASE FOR DARES BEACH STORE ROBBERY

On Sunday, August 3 at 3:43 p.m. an employee at the Good Day Market located at 1701 Dares Beach Road in Prince Frederick advised the Calvert Control Center that the store had been robbed.  Units from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and Maryland State Police Barrack “U” arrived within minutes of the incident.  The scene was safeguarded and perimeters were established.   No suspect was found in the immediate area. 

Investigation has revealed that a white male with a beard, in his 20’s to early 30’s with a large frame of 6’ to 6’-4” and weighing 210 to 250 pounds entered the store.  He is described as wearing a black or dark blue baseball cap with some white on it, sunglasses, a blue sweatshirt, a long sleeve white shirt under the blue sweatshirt, baggie blue jeans and black shoes/boots.  He eventually approached the counter and asked for cigarettes.  While the sole employee was ringing up the items, the suspect handed her a note telling her to give him all the money.  The clerk complied and the suspect then left the store.  A witness in the parking lot advised police that he saw the suspect get into a small vehicle on the passenger side and leave the scene.  The exact amount of cash stolen is unknown at this time. No one was injured during the robbery.


Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. H. Rich of the Calvert Investigative Bureau at 410-535-1600 extension 2765.
