Gas station robbed

The Oceanic Automotive Repair Center and Gasoline Station in Glen Burnie was robbed Sunday evening.

At 9:12 p.m., police received a report of a man who entered the store, walked behind the counter and took money from the register.

The clerk, who was the only person working at the station, noticed that the suspect was carrying a folding knife. However, the suspect didn't threaten the clerk with it, a county Police Department news release said.

The suspect then ran out of the store and got into an old, large pickup truck that was driven by another man. The truck had stripes on the side.

They went west on Furnace Branch Road. Police searched the area but could not find them.

Police describe the robber as in his mid-20s to early 30s. The driver is described only as a white man.

A 25-year-old man told police that two men robbed him at gunpoint and beat him up, injuring his face and head. They took his money and identification, then drove away in a blue Mitsubishi driven by a third person, a county Police Department news release said.

Police searched the area but did not find the suspects.

A man was robbed at the Chesapeake Square Shopping Center in Glen Burnie on Saturday evening.

At 10:12 p.m., police met with the victim, an employee of the Dollar Tree, who said two men robbed him as he walked to his car.

One of the men had a gun and said "Give me the money," a county Police Department news release said.

The victim told the suspects that he didn't have any money; it was in a safe in the store. The suspects then demanded his wallet, which the victim gave. The suspects then punched him in the face and ran away to the back of the shopping center.

Police searched the area but did not find the suspects.
