Suspect In Apple Store Armed Robbery At Bethesda Row Arrested: Police

BETHESDA, MD — Montgomery County Police charged a Capitol Heights man in connection with an armed robbery of an Apple Store in downtown Bethesda on Oct. 22, police said Monday.

Tyrone Lamont Jones, 32, was arrested in Prince George's County on Nov. 3. He is being held in jail without bond, police said.

On Oct 22 at about 6 p.m., Montgomery County police officers responded to the Apple Store in the 4000 block of Bethesda Avenue at Bethesda Row for a report of an armed robbery.

In their investigation, Montgomery County police detectives determined that Jones arrived at the Apple Store in a gold Cadillac and entered the store, according to police.

After having a brief conversation with an employee about purchasing some electronic merchandise, Jones held up a semiautomatic handgun with a gold slide and an extended magazine and demanded the items, according to police. The employee handed over the merchandise to Jones, who then left the store and drove away in the Cadillac, police said.

Last Thursday, Jones was driving the gold Cadillac in Prince George’s County when he was arrested. “A search of the vehicle revealed items of evidentiary value,” police said.

Jones was then taken by police to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit, where he was charged with armed robbery, according to police.
