Seat Pleasant Police Department K-9 “Theo” Assists Officers with Multiple Robbery Apprehension

On October 18, 2023, at 12:37 p.m., officers with the Seat Pleasant Police Department responded to Martin Luther King Jr Hwy and Addison Road to assist Prince George’s County Police (PGPD) with an armed citizen robbery. Once on scene, officers were advised that the suspects who committed the robbery earlier that day were last seen inside Capitol Liquors located at 5950 Martin Luther King Jr Highway, Seat Pleasant, Maryland 20743. Officers began to canvass, at which point PFC Harmon observed two individuals matching the description from the robbery. Once other officers arrived to assist PFC Harmon, the two suspects fled on foot towards Greig Court. After multiple verbal commands to stop running, they were ignored. PFC Harmon deployed K-9 “Theo,” which ultimately caused both males to surrender immediately and were taken into custody without further incident. Items of evidentiary value were recovered on the scene from the suspects.
