Two Teens Arrested for Robbery During Irene

Two Severn teens were arrested in connection to a burglary that occurred early Sunday morning during the heavy wind and rain of Tropical Storm Irene.

According to Anne Arundel County Police, officers responded to an alarm at the Cigarette Depot off of Parke West Drive in Glen Burnie around 12:27 a.m.

There, police saw that the glass door and a glass window had been shattered. Next, police said they witnessed a suspicious car drive into the parking lot of the shopping center next door and then make a u-turn after seeing officers.

Police followed the vehicle to a Shell lot off Quarterfield Road where it picked up a man who ran from the Parke West Car Wash. Police said the man entered the car and then sped out of the Shell without using a proper turn signal.

Officers then pulled over the car and, during the traffic stop, noticed the man who had just entered the vehicle had cuts on hand. Additional investigation confirmed that the passenger of the vehicle made a forced entry into the Cigarette Depot and took several cartons of cigarettes before fleeing the scene on foot, according to police.

Both the suspect and driver are being charged with second-degree burglary.

The men involved with the incident have been identified as 18-year-old Jonathon Neal Larrimore and 18-year-old Shane Thomas Wermuth, both from the 7900 block of Telegraph Road.
