Montgomery County police responded to a report of an armed robbery at a CVS Pharmacy in Derwood yesterday, May 12, 2026. The robbery took place at the CVS at 17651 Redland Road at 5:35 PM Tuesday. According to police, three suspects entered the store and attempted to shoplift merchandise. When the store manager confronted them, one of the suspects drew a knife and told the manager they would kill him. The three suspects then successfully fled the store with stolen merchandise.
Police have not released descriptions of the suspects. They did not indicate how the three avoided appearing on the many surveillance cameras inside the CVS. This was - yet again - another violent crime taking place during daylight hours, the latest trend in the six year Montgomery County crime wave.
Threatening to kill over $20 of drugstore merchandise? We don't need a description of the suspects.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of theft happens on a daily basis at Dollar Tree in Gaithersburg, the store doesn't even try to stop it anymore, the store had to raise its prices by 50 cent to cover the theft.I think Montgomery County and Maryland residents are going to have to decide if this is the way they want to live,if not,they need to start voting out the politicians who are allowing this to happen.
