Woman Abducted, Robbed
posted 5:24 am Fri November 30, 2007 - Wheaton, Md.
A 51-year-old female was approached by two men, kidnapped then forced to make money withdrawals for the duo.
It happened around 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon in the parking lot of the Westfield Wheaton Shopping Center on the 11000 block of Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton. The woman said the two men shoved her into their white Lexus SUV and one of the suspects implied he had a gun, although none was seen.
The two suspects drove the woman to several area banks and ordered her to make cash advances using her credit card. They dropped her off near the Chevy Chase Bank on Georgia Avenue and drove away.
The suspect who implied he had a gun was described as a black male, in his 50's, 5'7" tall, between 160 to 170 pounds. He was clean-shaven and well-dressed in a tie, black trench coat, and black brimmed-hat, also carrying a brief case.
The suspect who drove the SUV was a black male, in his 50's, 6'0" tall, heavyset, and clean-shaven. He was wearing a Raven's jersey and a black jacket.
The victim was released, relatively unharmed.
Anyone who has any information about this incident and/or suspects is asked to call the 4th District Investigative Section at 240-773-5530.
