Anne Arundel County police say the victims of an attempted armed robbery in Pasadena turned the tables on their attackers.
Police officers responded at 8 p.m. Thursday to the 200 block of Mountain Road, where they saw a suspect being detained on the property. The victims told police that they were in a garage when two suspects approached, one of them displaying a handgun, and demanding money. A 38-year-old male relative and a 26-year-old female relative came from inside the residence and chased after the suspects, who were trying to flee. A "struggle" ensued, and they managed to hold down the suspect until police arrived. Officers detained a second suspect.
Charged are Delonte Preston Thomas, 20, of the 8900 block of Oakwood Way in Laurel, and Paul Rashon Atterberry, 17, of the 9200 block of Steeple Court in Laurel. Atterberry, who was charged as an adult, is pictured above, displaying what appear to be the after effects of the "struggle." Click to enlarge
