Maryland Avenue, in reference to a robbery complaint. This investigation revealed that sometime after 5:00 p.m., the owner of the business, who was working by herself, locked the front door to the store because she was going to be in the back for a few minutes. While she was in the back the victim advised she heard glass shatter, followed by a loud thud. She walked back up front to investigate the noise at which time a male subject walked up behind her. Before she could turn around the victim felt an unknown object pushing against her at which time this suspect demanded cash.
