Abington Police Make Arrests In July Armed Robbery

ABINGTON, PA — Local police announced Wednesday that they have arrested two men who were wanted in connection with an armed robbery in the township last month.

Abington police said that Richard Wright-Crump, 18, of Blue Bell, Whitpain Township and Quamar Adams, 19, of the Norristown section of West Norriton Township, were arrested on Aug. 3 in connection with a July 11 armed robbery in Abington, which was previously reported by Patch.

The men, both of whom were taken into custody in their respective homes, were each charged with robbery, aggravated assault, and unlawfully possessing firearms.

Each was arraigned and then transported to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility after failing to post $100,000 cash bail, according to the Abington Township Police Department.

The robbery took place along the 1600 block of Rockwell Road when two victims reported they were approached by two men each armed with handguns. Police say after money was demanded from the first victim, the second victim took off running, but was found hiding on a nearby porch by the second suspect who had pointed a gun at the man and stole his cellphone, money and sneakers.

The first victim suffered head injuries after the first suspect struck him with a handgun, according to police.

Police investigators were able to identify and track down the two suspects, who were arrested following the issuing of warrants against each of them.
