Police release video of Silver Spring armed robber and carjacker

The alleged robber of the Silver Spring Shell gas station at 9510 Georgia Avenue on November 25 was caught on candid camera video. Montgomery County Police detectives now need your help to identify him.

Around 6:05 PM on November 25, the suspect entered the gas station and showed the clerk a handgun. He then demanded cash and Newport brand cigarettes. After the clerk filled the suspect's provided plastic bag, the suspect bolted out the door to the gas pump area.
