Four suspects are charged in connection with armed robberies in Prince George’s County and are believed to be linked to several other such crimes in the region. Over the span of just four weeks, detectives believe these same suspects targeted 10 separate 7-Elevens in three counties. The convenience stores are in Prince George’s County, Anne Arundel County and Montgomery County. The FBI’s Baltimore Field Office is also involved in this joint investigation.

Prince George’s
County patrol officers spotted and arrested the four suspects just minutes
after they committed their final robbery on June 16th in the 6200
block of Suitland Road. Two handguns were recovered during the arrest.
The four suspects are
26-year-old Tyrone Murphy of the 100 block of Danbury Street in Southwest DC,
31-year-old Leighton Williams of the 1200 block of Howison Place in Southwest
DC, 19-year-old Kione Banks of the unit block of N Street in Southwest DC and
his 27-year-old brother, Khiry Banks, of the 2400 block of Hartford Street in
Southeast DC. Kione Banks is charged with the robbery on Suitland Road only.
The additional three suspects are charged in connection with all three cases in
Prince Georges County.
Here is a breakdown
of the robberies believed linked to these suspects:
During the course of
the investigation, detectives identified a car possibly linked to one of the
suspects. Investigators shared the car description with area law
enforcement and broadcast it out to patrol officers which ultimately led to the
arrests early Friday morning.
Murphy, Williams and
Khiry Banks remain in custody of the Prince George’s County Department of
Corrections. Kione Banks has posted bond and is no longer in custody.
