Update: Suspect nabbed in Glen Burnie Robbery

On March 7, 2009, at approximately 1558 hours, a male subject entered the CVS store located at 7400 Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie. This subject approached the service counter and handed the on duty employee a note. This note indicated that the subject was armed with a handgun and that the clerk should surrender money in order to remain safe. The clerk complied with the demands and gave the subject an undisclosed amount of U.S. Currency from the cash register. The subject was then able to make his escape.

An anonymous tip was received indicating that 58-year-old John Raymond Heppding of no fixed address was responsible for having committed this robbery. Robbery Unit detectives were quickly able to confirm this information and an arrest warrant was obtained charging Mr. Heppding with having committed the robbery of the CVS store. At approximately 1545 hours, Mr. Heppding was located by Northern District officers and arrested. He is currently being held at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center awaiting trial.
