At about 7 p.m., officers responded to the Benfield Service Center on Veterans Highway in Millersville for a reported armed robbery. An employee told police a man with a handgun entered the store and took cash before running into a wooded area towards West Benfield Road. Multiple units searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect.   

Officers later responded at about 9:06 p.m. to the Wendy’s restaurant on Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie for an attempted armed robbery. Police said two men with guns demanded money from a cashier, who fled from the restaurant.

One of the men reportedly jumped over the counter and attempted to open the cash register without success, and both men ran from the restaurant.

A short time later, an armed robbery was reported at the Dunkin' Donuts on Ritchie Highway in Pasadena. An employee told police two masked men with guns took cash and ran towards the bowling alley on Jumpers Hole Road.
