Metro Transit Police are investigating an armed robbery and carjacking that took place at approximately 7:15 a.m. Wednesday, May 25, in the parking garage at Largo Town Center station.

Two individuals -- a male, 54, and his daughter, age 21 of Bowie, MD -- were the victims of an armed robbery and subsequent carjacking. According to their statements to police, the victims were approached by four suspects within the garage stairwell and robbed of their personal belongings. An altercation followed in which the female victim was shot and the male victim was struck in the head with a blunt object. Both victims were transported to a local hospital.

  • Perhaps if MTPD had an actual presence at high-crime stations (like Largo), these really tragic and scary incidents could be avoided. The fact that a deputy chief of MTPD has to refer to his notes to try to get a station name right, and STILL gets it wrong is really just sad. The four suspects remain at large only because Transit Police are ineffective and invisible.
