The first robber is described as being between 19 and 25, a thin white man with black hair on his arms, wearing a dark hoodie, dress pants and tennis shoes, according to the report. The second robber was described as having dark skin, dark hair and brown eyes, wearing blue jeans, a leather jacket and a stocking cap.

A gun was used in the second robbery on Friday, Feb. 24, in a parking lot in the 700 block of Belair Road, according to a police report. In this incident, at about 12:10 p.m., a 62-year-old man was walking from Tollgate Liquors when he was approached by two men believed to be in their late 20s.

Both of the robbers pointed a gun at the other man and he reached into his pocket and gave them money, between $1,000 and $10,000. After the robbery, the two robbers ran and the victim called 9-1-1, according to the report.

The man had just headed to Tollgate Liquors to play the lottery after withdrawing money from his bank when he was robbed, according to the report. He described the guns as black and the men as wearing all black sweat gear and an all gray uniform.

Anyone with more information on the crime is encouraged to call Det. Mike Berg with the southern precinct investigative unit at 410-612-1717.

The most recent robbery was Sunday at 12:15 a.m. at Liberty Court, according to a police report. A 39-year-old man reported to deputies that his 15-year-old son was robbed while at a party in the Harford Square development.

The son went to the party Saturday in the 300 block of Burlington Court around 11 p.m. with friends before leaving after midnight and walking to Liberty Court to wait with friends, according to the police report. While there, he said a gold, four-door vehicle pulled in to the court and five people, except for the driver, exited the vehicle and started to walk around.

The son then borrowed a friend's phone to call for a ride and walked toward Harford Square Drive, about 50 feet away from the group, according to the report. The son was then hit in the head from behind and lost consciousness, he said in the report.

He could not remember what happened, but a witness told deputies the person who initiated the assault was light-skinned, between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-11, 200 pounds wearing all dark clothing an a black ski mask, according to the report.

The men left the scene in an older Mazda 626, the witness said. In the assault, a black leather wallet and cell phone were stolen, valued at less than $500.

No further information was available.
