Montgomery police arrest gas station robbery suspect

Published



Montgomery County police say Brandon David Betts was almost better at fleeing the armed robberies he attempted than actually getting away with the cash he was trying to steal, at least until he was caught.

Betts, 20, of Colesville, was arrested Wednesday after he fled a BP gas station on the 13300 block of New Hampshire Avenue in Colesville, just hours after attempting to rob a Shell gas station in Hillandale, according to police. He is charged with one count of armed robbery and two counts of attempted armed robbery.
