PGPD Charges Suspect in Connection With Two Bank Robberies

Carlton Llewellyn Chase Jr.

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Robbery Unit charged a suspect in connection with a bank robbery in Chillum last Friday. He’s also charged with robbing the same bank in February and the robbery of a third business in January. The suspect is 62-year-old Carlton Llewellyn Chase Jr., of no fixed address.  

The preliminary investigation reveals Chase robbed a bank in the 1900 block of Queens Chapel Road in Chillum on March 20, 2015. On March 22, 2015, members of a neighboring jurisdiction stopped Chase on an unrelated matter. It was discovered Chase had an outstanding warrant and matched the description of the suspect wanted for Friday’s bank robbery. Prince George’s County Police Robbery Unit detectives linked Chase to that robbery as well as the robbery of the same bank on February 11, 2015. He’s also charged with the robbery of a business in Mount Rainier on January 20, 2015.  

Chase is in custody of the Department of Corrections on a $25,000 bond.
