Men rob Annapolis Mall jeweler at gunpoint
Two men armed with handguns robbed a jeweler at the Westfield Annapolis Mall on Monday afternoon, according to Anne Arundel County police.
The daylight holdup occurred shortly before 4 p.m. at Liljenquist & Beckstead Jewelers. The owner told police that two men inquired about watches in a display case and then pulled out guns and announced a robbery.
"The suspects ordered the male victim to hand over wrist watches from the display case. The victim complied and the suspects fled the store in an unknown direction," police said in a statement. Last summer, three groups of robbers terrorized merchants at Mondawmin Mall in Baltimore. In one robbery, they escaped with $100,000 in jewelry.
