Montgomery County, Maryland: Authorities are continuing their search for two armed suspects involved in an attempted robbery at the AMC Theater parking lot inside Montgomery Mall late last year.
According to investigators, the incident occurred on December 23, 2025, when two men were entering their vehicle after visiting the theater. Police say two unidentified males approached the victims in the parking lot and attempted to rob them at gunpoint.
Officials reported that the suspects specifically demanded one of the victim’s sneakers during the confrontation. The situation escalated quickly, but the suspects fled the scene after one of the victims immediately dialed 911. No physical injuries were reported.
Law enforcement officers responded promptly and canvassed the area, but the suspects had already left before police arrived. Detectives have since been reviewing surveillance footage from the shopping center and nearby businesses in an effort to identify the individuals involved.
Investigators describe the suspects as two males who were armed with a handgun at the time of the attempted robbery. Surveillance images captured during the investigation have been released to the public in hopes that someone may recognize the individuals.
Police are urging anyone with information about the incident or the identities of the suspects to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 1-866-411-8477.
Authorities remind residents to remain aware of their surroundings in parking lots, especially during evening hours, and to report suspicious activity immediately. The investigation remains ongoing.
