The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating an attempted armed robbery in College Park.

On January 27, 2013, around 1:00 pm, police officers were called to the 8100 block of Baltimore Avenue for the report of an attempted armed robbery.  The preliminary investigation reveals the suspect approached a man inside a common area of an apartment building and produced what is believed to be a fake handgun.  The suspect demanded the victim’s computer. The victim refused and tried to fight off the suspect.  During that confrontation, a  witness came into the room and tried to break up the fight. The suspect ran away. Neither the victim nor the witness were hurt.  The victim is a student at the University of Maryland.

The suspect is described as a black male wearing a mask, approximately 20 years-old, average height and build. He was last seen wearing a black jacket and blue jeans.
