Police in Montgomery County and the District of Columbia believe a pair of armed men may have targeted Asians in more than 10 robberies.
Police believe the culprits follow their victims home from Asian businesses. In all three of the Montgomery robberies, which happened between Sept. 1 and Sept. 21 in Kensington and Wheaton, the men targeted older Asian couples.
The culprits are black and in their early 20s. One is between 5’7” and 5’11” and about 145 pounds. The other is about the same height but weighs around 160 pounds.
Police met with Asian community members Monday afternoon to warn them to be on the lookout. If people feel they’re being followed they should call police immediately and get to a public area.
Anyone with information should call Montgomery County police at 301-657-0112.
