Baltimore police are searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a series of armed robberies in Baltimore and Baltimore County.
The suspect attempted Tuesday to rob the 7-Eleven convenience store on the 200 block of East 28th Street, but became startled by an off-duty Howard County police officer who walked into the store, police said. Believing the suspect was a shoplifter, the officer attempted to grab the robber, but the suspect pointed a small-caliber revolver at the officer’s chest and ran from the location, police said.
About 30 minutes later, the suspect successfully robbed the 7-Eleven store on the 6300 block of Sherwood Avenue in Baltimore County.
